The 5 biggest winners and losers at the box office so far this year
Disney
In short: It's not as bad as you think.
Though the summer movie season has been filled with lackluster performers, especially sequels, the 2016 box office is tracking higher than this time in 2015, which was a record-breaking year for the movie industry. (Though we should note, it's just a 1.9% increase from 2015, according to USA Today.)
A big reason Hollywood has kept things steady was its monster first quarter, with movies like "Deadpool" and "Zootopia" performing better than anyone ever dreamed.
The second quarter saw a dip, with "Warcraft" and "Alice Through the Looking Glass" standing out as two of the most miserable failures in the US (though "Warcraft" has earned over $370 million overseas).
Here's a breakdown of the five big winners and five big losers at the box office so far this year:
