For the first time since 2019, we're getting an honest-to-goodness summer of movies.
There were some blockbuster titles last year but studios remained uncertain if we were ready to return to in-person viewing, so many top titles were held back. This year, they're rolling the dice, with even Pixar — which opted to release its past few titles on Disney+ instead of at multiplexes — heading back to theaters with "Lightyear."
Because teenage boys are both the largest moviegoing demographic and the most willing to visit theaters, releases have been weighted toward their superheroes-and-serial-killers interests, but there's something for everybody this summer. Well, almost everybody; if you like romantic comedies, you'll have to wait until fall for Julia Roberts and George Clooney in "Ticket to Paradise."
