Summer blockbuster films drive box office interest

The summer film season has been highlighted by major releases including Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” and Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” “The Odyssey,” which follows the journey of Odysseus, has received praise for its use of practical effects and physical sets over heavy CGI.

Following these successes, the action-horror film “The End Of Oak Street,” starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, has received positive critical reception. Directed by David Robert Mitchell, the film is set in 1980s suburbia and has drawn comparisons to “Jurassic Park” due to its prehistoric themes.
