Summer is winding down. The kids are back in school. September, the end of summer, the beginning of fall starts tomorrow. And summer is over. Get ready for those shorter days, with the leaves changing colors, Halloween and the holidays.
So how did the summer box office fare?
1. Without competition, the top box office earning movie of the summer was “Toy Story 3” bringing in $895 million and counting. “Toy Story 3’ has now earned more than the first two “Toy Story” movies combined.
2. In the number two spot another animated mega film, “Shrek Forever”. With $663 million, it is still the worst performing of all the “Shrek” films in the United States but the overseas box office put it over the top.
3. Another sequel comes in at third place. “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” brought in $650 million. Two more Eclipse films are slated for the Novembers of 2011 and 2012.
4. “Iron Man 2” came in at fourth place with $622 million. What is with the sequels this summer?
5. “Inception” rounds out the top five with $478 million, quite a good showing considering it didn’t hit the box office till halfway through the summer on July 16.
And there you have it, the top box office hits of summer 2010.
What do we have to look forward to in movies for Fall, The Holidays and Winter?
