As summer 2025 comes to a close, we break down the movie season that was: the highs, the lows, and the box office stories that shaped the year. From breakout hits to high-profile disappointments, we look at how Hollywood’s summer slate measured up — and what it reveals about the industry’s current state. More than just a rundown of numbers, we explore why the idea of the “summer movie season” has lost its cultural weight, and why it may be time for studios to reclaim that branding power.
