The age of cinema has returned, and the 2026 summer season made a big point of proving it. Earning the highest box office sales on average since 2013 (Welk, 2026), it is abundantly clear that bodies have filled up seats this year. Even if it was just through movie dates or last-minute hangouts, money went into the upkeep of theaters like AMC, Regal, Alamo Drafthouse, etc.
Despite the successes of the summer 2026 film season, there’s no need to stop there. Many more beautiful pieces are on their way and already in theaters, waiting for you all to return to what can become your second home.
For now, we are handing off the title “film critic” to the students, giving them the chance to talk about their experiences. If you missed it, don’t worry; CCNY went to the movies and is back with the inside scoop.
