The 5 biggest winners and losers at the box office so far this year
In short: It's not as bad as you think.
Though the summer-movie season has been filled with lackluster performers, especially sequels, the 2016 box office is tracking higher than this time in 2015, which was a record-breaking year for the movie industry. (Though we should note, it's just a 1.9% increase from 2015, according to USA Today.)
A big reason Hollywood has kept things steady was its monster first quarter, with movies like "Deadpool" and "Zootopia" performing better than anyone ever dreamed.
The second quarter saw a dip, with "Warcraft" and "Alice Through the Looking Glass" standing out as two of the most miserable failures in the US (though "Warcraft" has earned over $370 million overseas).
Here's a breakdown of the five big winners and five big losers at the box office so far this year.
