Well as they say-  Play it again Sam.

Since Kraven decided to take his spear and run to December.  Time for a revision.

I also added some extra thoughts.. 

Again thanks to Kaigee, Tealfan, and all those who help bring us the great Summer Pick 7.  So let's get to it: 

My Summer Pick 5.   (My picks for top Summer box office winners)  REVISED

1. Deadpool and Wolverine: 
The event film of the Summer will bring in droves. The 2nd trailer was also much better. The big question is how much "studio interference," will play a factor here. If these characters can free fully off this R-rated romp- the constant absence of big comedies at the multi-plex will help it big.  Audiences are ready.

2. Despicable Me 4: 
Ah yes, I'm back to form. I've been consistently predicting Universal animated titles beating its Disney counterparts over the last couple years. Universal has delivered, so is this really a upset pick now? LOL.  I see no difference here.  Film also has the entire 4th of July frame to itself mostly- meaning huge numbers.  If Deadpool stumbles, this can also win the Summer. 

3. Inside Out 2: 
First one was great, but we're a long way from Disney being the dominant brand it once was in animation. A bronze finish here is reachable since family fare plays very well in June usually.

4. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga:
With Kraven bolting for December, this film (pardon the pun) goes right to the driver's seat. Memorial Day openings have the advantage of grabbing big numbers early. The audience good will of Mad Max: Fury Road should carry over here leading to a solid finish.

5. Bad Boys 4:
Now comes a close race between what I call "The May big 3,"  in Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes, IF, and this film. I feel the franchise base of this gets it over the finish line. It also helps to be more an action comedy.

Other notes: 

Beware the 2nd weekend drops for both Twisters and A Quiet Place: Day One...
 

For Sleeper picks..  Look to The Fall Guy and Borderlands.

Happy Summer Season HSX..rs
