With the arrival in theater of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness next week, the first fully fleshed-out summer movie season since 2019 will be upon us. To celebrate, the  Alternate Ending crew is looking ahead to the next four months of action epics, animated comedies, and the occasional art film from a major director. For our next episode, we offer a Summer 2023 Preview: the films we're excited about (and perhaps the ones we're especially dreading), the films we expect to be big hits or big flops!

Plus...

Don't forgot! Box Office Prediction Contest is OPEN!

Part of the fun of summer is seeing what movies will rake in the biggest pile of money. So in addition to sharing your top 5 picks for what you're looking forward to for the episode, we're also inviting you to share your best guesses for what films are going to make the most money over the next few months. Either in comments here, or via e-mail at [email protected], let us know what five films you think are going to make the most money at the U.S. domestic box office, as of the end of day on Sunday, September 4, along with the total amount you think they'll make. Whoever is closest overall will be announced on our summer recap episode in September, and will be crowned the winner of a $25 prize!
