The new entry in the “Incredibles” film series is helping to make this summer’s box-office tally, well, pretty incredible.
Some Wall Street analysts who began the year forecasting a drop from a dismal 2017 are now revising their outlooks. Surprised by the draw of “Black Panther” plus the stellar performance of “Incredibles 2,” they say the U.S. box office could actually end the year up a few percentage points.
