The Biggest Summer Blockbusters Since 2010, by Box Office Sales
Key Takeaways
Out of the highest grossing summer movies from 2010 to 2026, only one original film, Tenet, topped the box office.
Tenet was released during the pandemic in 2020 and faced an unusually weak comeptitive field as many releases were postponed.
Top Gun: Maverick was the most successful summer release over the time period, generated $719 million in North American revenue.
The result underscores how unusual original box office winners have become in an era dominated by sequels, remakes, adaptations, and established franchises.
