While the domestic box office has tallied $4.46 billion in sales through June 30, a nearly 20% increase over the same period in 2022, it still lags behind 2019.

"Even though a few releases haven't lived up to bullish expectations on their own individual terms, 2023's box office to date is generally about as healthy as could be expected," said Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at BoxOffice.com.

So far through July 2, the summer box office has tallied $1.88 billion. That's 1.7% lower than 2022 levels across the same period, according to Comscore data. "While the year is running well ahead of 2022, summer numbers are at this point struggling to surpass last year's," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. He noted that 2022 also offered "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" and Universal's "Jurassic World: Dominion."
