>When the ticket stubs for summer are totalled up, they will paint a bleak picture: takings are expected to be down by as much as 15% year-on-year to an estimated $3.8bn. The heroics of summer hit Wonder Woman have failed to shore up a take for the period – the Hollywood summer typically runs from the first Friday in May to the Labor Day holiday in early September – that is $600m lower than last year.

>The true scale of the potential problem facing the industry can be seen in the precipitous drop in movie attendance this summer, down 52% year-on-year to 385 million at the time of writing. It is the lowest level of attendance since the summer of 1992, when Batman Returns ruled the US box office.

>Over the course of a year, 100 films take 92% of the US box office, and the other 650 releases fight for the rest. Fans of smaller films and non-blockbuster fare are increasingly finding less and less to entice them to the cinema.
