This was on a Saturday, which is typically the strongest box office day, but it still opened lower than Monday, July 4, 2022. That has to hurt.

2026 is still an estimate, but this is not a good sign for July's box office, which is typically the biggest month of the year. We're counting on Moana, The Odyssey, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

We're also coming off a billion-dollar May and June, and if we want that streak to continue—and for July 2026 to surpass July 2025's $1,116,456,099 domestic box office total—the box office needs to pick up next weekend and the weekend after. I don't know if it's still possible to beat 2025, but reaching $1 billion for the month still seems likely.

I live in a typical American suburb with some nice walking areas mixed in with places that are very dangers to walk and have unconnected sidewalks and unprotected crossings and scattered bike lanes which are just the sides of roads with no protection and are also were you walk were cars zoom past you at 40mph plus. The thing that keeps making me rage on my walks is when some car brain typically a big truck does not yield when I’m crossing and this keeps happening and it seems like they don’t care at all about space or people. Today I decided to yell out “fucking carbrain”. I know swearing out is a bad idea but whenever I walk in these areas I’m on edge and in defensive mode trying to not get killed by these carbrains.
I hope I can move somewhere in the future that is not like this.

with this weekends estimates it adds another 228m bringing the June box office to 763m and I expect with the push from next weekend it will get there and we will have the second month this year cross 1b.

2026 is going to be huge with dunesday’s second Friday + holiday boost and the opening day of Jumanji open world I see this rivaling 2015

Crazy how so many are in the same 30m range

The biggest weekend so far this year was the April 3rd to 5th weekend with 197m because of the super Mario galaxy movie and last weekand was 180m.
We have some big holdovers and some big openings maybe over 50m and 30m and obsession and backrooms are still going strong. First 200m plus weekand of the year maybe?

There is just no way that the month with dune 3, avengers doomsday and Jumanji: Open World does not do 1b. no other post covid December will come close to this expected total I say it will be over 1.3b. rivaling 2017s record.

Give me feedback if you disagree with my choices and If I missed any.

These are my predictions.

June 5th Friday Scary movie 6 15m , Masters of the universe 12m

June 12th Friday Disclosure Day 20m

June 19th Friday Toy Story 5 65m,

June 26th Friday Supergirl 26m

July 1st Wednesday minions and monsters 29m

July 10th Friday Moana 43m

July 17th Friday The odyssey 41m

July 31st Friday Spider-Man: Brand New Day 102m

This is for all films with at least 10m opening days of greater. I don't see any that could really do that in August.

The top opening day so far this summer season so far is the backrooms with 38m.

after the large 65m Friday of may 29th total is at 948m domestic and with it being late into Saturday now we have to have at least made another 52m today by now so this brings us over 1b domestic.
Is 2026 back or what? May has not made 1b+ since 2019
