The season is officially changing, and that includes upcoming movie releases.
As Mitchell Theaters owner Brian Mitchell tells it, this past spring and summer saw multiple very successful releases.
“The spring started off a little slow, but then everything really ramped up when we saw the release of 'A Minecraft Movie' and 'Sinners' and the 'Lilo & Stitch' remake. There was 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' that did really well, and 'The Last Rodeo' also played really well for us. The 'How To Train Your Dragon' remake also saw some really good numbers, as did 'F1 The Movie,' 'Superman,' 'Weapons' and 'The Bad Guys 2,' so we were happy with all of that,” Mitchell said. “Throughout the summer, we had some movies overperform and some movies underperform, but all in all, this season did end up slightly better than last year. A lot of people were expecting more, and August slowed down slightly quicker than expected, but we were happy with how the season ended up.”
