The arrival of The Avengers signals the start of the Summer blockbuster season. The Summer is the greediest season for film when you consider that it delivers the most expensive films made, typically generates the most money at the box office (six of the ten highest grossing films from 2011 came out in this stretch), and for some reason is commonly considered four months long (May-August) – as opposed to the regular three month season length. And while we might not see too many awards-worthy movies in that stretch, we will certainly have our fill of entertainment.
When looking at the movies coming out in the next few months, one thing is certain: this is going to be one hell of a Summer at the movies! From super-hero driven films like the aforementioned Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man, and The Dark Knight Rises (the epic conclusion to the Nolan/Caped Crusader film trilogy), to sci/fi features that include Total Recall and Prometheus, to uproarious comedies like The Dictator, Hysteria, and To Rome with Love, the summer seems poised to deliver on all fronts.
