July Movie Premieres: Everything Coming To Theaters This Month

Let’s look at July movie premieres to know all the options that will be coming to theaters this month.

July always brings interesting movies, although last year they didn’t have the desired success. Many films premiered in theaters worldwide, but their box office was low compared to previous years. The leading cause was the pandemic that overshadowed movies like Fast and Furious 9, Black Widow, and Space Jam: A New Legacy.

For example, Fast and Furious only managed to gross $726 million, almost $500 million less than the previous film of this saga. Black Widow underperformed in money earned, grossing approximately $380 million. Space Jam 2 on the other hand, earned roughly $163 million in revenue.

This year, with the disease outbreak abating, vaccination for COVID-19, and worldwide easing, movies are booming again. July premieres include movies that people will surely want to see in theaters. Whether they are children, young people, or adults, they will enjoy them again and help the expected box office results.
