Weekly Written Analysis 4

This week’s weekly analysis is about summer blockbusters. Summer time is the season where all of the biggest movies hit the movie theatres. Every year all of these movies are competing against each other to become the biggest summer blockbuster of the year. I have noticed over the past couple of years that some of the summer blockbusters have been movies about older comics, cartoons, and movies like; Spiderman, Batman, and Superman. This year is no different. According to (summerblockbusters.com, 2008), Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the top money maker so far this summer. The movie has taken in approximately $339,221,800. Star Trek and X-Men are two other summer blockbusters that are in the top five of total sales, according to (summerblockbusters.com, 2008). Another one that has yet to come out this summer is the new GI Joe movie. This is another throw back movie like Transformers that will probably draw a huge audience. Some people even make going to these new summer blockbusters a ritual. They will go see them as soon as they are being showed at the theatre which is usually at midnight of the day it will be debuted. All of these summer blockbusters are brining back Hero’s and Villain’s from the past. There has got to be a lot of people in their late 20’s to mid 30’s that are remembering their favorite GI Joe and Transformer Hero and Villain. Summer blockbusters will continue to be a big hit during the summer time. It just depends on what type of movie will be claiming the top spot.
