The summer box office is looking especially ripe for Walt Disney and Universal Pictures as industry sales for the season head toward a record $5 billion.
Disney kicks things off May 1 with Avengers: Age of Ultron, a sequel that could be the biggest film of the summer and possibly the year, and also has Inside Out, its first Pixar feature since 2013. Universal’s Jurassic World opens June 12 and the animated Minions a month later.
