Afternoon. In the last newsletter, we discussed the recent box office bombs that were The Flash and Elemental. The Flash, as it turns out, is poised to be one of the largest financial losses in Warner Bro’s history. Disney, however, couldn’t resist sitting back and letting Warner Bros. take the title for biggest bomb of the year, so they followed up this past weekend with Indiana Jones & The Dial of Destiny. Six days into its release, the movie has accumulated $154 million world wide. Not bad except for the fact that the budget was reportedly $300 million. After marketing costs, the movie will need to break $600 to $700 million in order to profit, meaning that, like The Flash, this could be as much as a $200+ million loss for the studio.

Fortunately, there are a lot of great looking movies still to come this year that we can all look forward to. The first of those comes next weekend in the form of Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One. The weekend after that, we get the release of Oppenheimer and Barbie, which has naturally become a highly anticipated head to head release. Additionally, for the horror fans out there, another installment of the Insidious franchise hits theaters this weekend.

Also mixed in the July release schedule are a bunch of re-releases, so if you are not feeling those box office bombs we previously discussed that will linger throughout July, you might be able to check out some of the following classics: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, National Lampoon’s Vacation, and Heathers.
