Box office has been poor this year all around.

Star Trek is not doing that great either even with good reviews. X-Men didn't do great.

Tarzan didn't do well. Alice Through the Looking Glass flopped. So did Independence Day. Spielberg's BFG flopped.

The only thing that's done well this year is Disney basically. Captain America, Jungle Book, and CGI kids movies (Zooptopia, Dory, Secret Lives of Pets) are the only things working this year for anyone.

That and Deadpool earlier in the year. Basically if your movie doesn't have superheroes or CG animals ... it's a bomb this year.

All those movies still did much at least $100M than Ghostbusters (Star Trek will get there).

The BFG - $52 million domestic

Star Trek Beyond - $109 million domestic

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: OotS - $84 million domestic

The Legend of Tarzan - $122 million domestic

Ghostbusters - $107 million domestic

Independence Day Resurgance - $102 million domestic

Alice Through the Looking Glass - $76 million domestic

Warcraft - $47 million domestic (lol). 

 

This summer has had many movies bomb. Basically nothing without Marvel superheroes or talking animals is working. Star Trek is performing way below the last one, that could be it for the Abrams version of the franchise. 

This is the weakest summer movie season I can remember since maybe ... 1997?
