They're Armed and Ready Action, romance, comedy, unusual characters. Studios will pull out the big guns this season.
Hits are critical.
Whether it's apes, ogres, dinosaurs, tomb raiders, robots or Parisian courtesans, there are plenty of unusual characters to go around in this summer's packed movie season. The good news is that the studios seem prepared with a slew of films offering diversity in subjects, locations and casts. The momentum studios establish in the summer could carry them throughout the rest of the year. Clearly last summer versus the summer before, the public did not care for the movies as much. If there is a momentum to the summer season, people get into the habit of going to the movies.
