Summer Blockbuster Season: 'Jurassic World,' 'Inside Out,' 'Ted 2' & More Movies in Theaters This Summer [Watch]
The summer blockbuster season -- which usually kicks off around April, comes into full gear around May and peaks around the end of July, with a few straggling surprise hits debuting in August -- has shifted into high gear, according to Variety.
But the season has seen weak box-office reports, even with the smash hit "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Furious 7" sequels on the bill. But the summer season is not over yet, and there is a long-awaited sleeper on the way, "Jurassic World."
The Chris Pratt-starring movie, which will be released on June 12, is not all this summer has in store for you. According to The Huffington Post, here is your list for the rest of the summer to be looking for.
"Jurassic World" is a follow up to the Stephen Spielberg franchise that started in the early '90s and last left off with "Jurassic Park III." That same day -- June 12 -- a Sundance film, "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, will also be released. The movie has received a lot of critical praise.
"Inside Out" will be released on June 19. The sci-fi animated Pixar film is about a girl with a wide range of emotions and characters. These movie will focus on the little voice people hear in their heads.
On June 26, the sequel for "Ted" will be released. Much like in the first movie, which was a hit, the movie will revolve around a talking stuffed bear. In "Ted 2," Ted will have to prove he is a person so that he is able to adopt a baby with his wife.
On July 1, there will be a double-dose of muscles and mayhem when "Terminator: Genisys" debuts alongside "Magic Mike XXL." Both films are highly anticipated followups with returning characters to their corresponding franchises.
"Despicable Me" will be returning on July 10, but this time the focus won't be on Gru. Instead, the movie, tiled "Minions," will focus on his helpers. The Spanish version of the movie will feature Thalia and Ricky Martin in the main roles.
Summer is not complete without superheroes. On July 17, Marvel's "Ant-Man" is set to debut, featuring Paul Rudd in the titular role. "Trainwreck," which will be Amy Schumer's big-screen debut alongside LeBron James and Bill Hader, will also premiere the same day.
"Pan," the reboot of the Peter Pan franchrise, was originally going to be released in July, but is now moved until October. The movie stars Levi Miller and Hugh Jackman. Instead, on July 24, "Pixels," an Adam Sandler and Kevin James comedy about invading arcade characters, will be released. And "Paper Towns" and "Southpaw" will also hit theaters.
July 31 gets a double dose with "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation" and the "Vacation" reboot, which features Ed Helms and Christina Applegate.
August releases include "Fantastic Four" and "Ricki and the Flash" on Aug. 7, "Straight Outta Compton" and "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." on Aug. 14, and "Masterminds" on Aug. 21.
