I'd argue Wonder Woman might have had a bigger impactPeople say since 1992 but honestly Batman Returns had a MUCH bigger impact than anything that dropped this year.
That being said I enjoyed Wonder Woman and Planet of the Apes so it ain't all bad
So this was the worst Hollywood Summer since 1992

This is true. Same thing with malls. I don't really see teens hanging out at malls either.
Only movie I've outright loved this year has been Get Out
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Batman returns underperformed so no.People say since 1992 but honestly Batman Returns had a MUCH bigger impact than anything that dropped this year.

going to the movies is expensive and many of these movies aren't must see right away.

I'm not saying Nolan's name doesn't have cache. What I'm saying is that the film industry has been catering to young white males with the comic books and forgot that older people, especially older white men love their war stories and white male war hero worship. I would actually argue that the sons and grandsons of the 96 year olds flocked in droves to see a story that promised to uphold their romantic ideas about the war their fathers and grandfathers served in. Anyway, like I said this old dude says he's been four times and he's not into Nolan.

There's no "Must See" movies anymore. Even comic book movies aren't demanding an audience like they used to.
I used to be a day 1 viewer when it came to any comic book movies up until Age of Ultron. Now I still haven't seen Wonder Woman and I just recently saw GotG2 on blu ray.

a lot of good TV + the fact they seem to be overcrowding the space. i don't go to the movies a lot, but it seems like there's 1-2 "blockbusters" released every week + add in some kids flick your kids are gonna wanna see, they're cannibalizing each other. not to mention all these hero movies are the same fukking thing in a new costume
I fell off the comic movie bandwagon 10 years ago. Your line is classic reason why. I'll go watch them occasionally in theaters for the movie experience, but sometimes I don't even remember which ones I've seen before

I think it depends on the movie. Superhero movies on opening night I see a lot of teens and college kids. When I went to see Strange Beast and Where to Find Them, I saw a crap ton of families with young teens. Wonder Woman had a very diverse crowd too, out my way.

Makes sense, no one is gonna watch "part 7" of a franchise that dried up in "part 3". Banking on sequels should've never been the ideal, but Star Wars made it plausible to make up to ten parts of a film. But even the horror franchises ran dry. Eventually people will get tired of watching the same character on screen either win or lose.
The remakes are already running slow, these studios need to realize that original properties or spaced out remakes/sequels are okay as well.

Yeah in Europe sure. This was a British ass story. I'd argue pretty much everyone stateside saw it because of Nolan and Nolan only.
There were zero stars /box office draws in the flick.

Is Moviegoing Dead? Lessons Learned From The Worst Summer At The B.O. In Over A Decade
TL:DR of it is, the summer box office suffered because outside of a few movies people weren't interested. The idea that people don't want to go to the movies anymore is asinine when you consider how much money was made January-may and the overall box office was up from last year to that point.
Audiences are becoming smarter with their money and about movies in general so you gotta know when to move forward or when to take chance or when to fold your tent up

Nah batman returns underperformed that year. It may have had a bigger impact on those of us at the right age then but overall? Wonder Woman got it beat
