Report: Hollywood on Track for Record Summer

Los Angeles Times: Hollywood is on track to post one of its strongest summers ever at the box office, and a big part of that has been its success in bringing in the young adults who remain the most frequent moviegoers — despite all the hand-wringing that younger people are shunning traditional media in favor of streaming services, video games and digital entertainment. When the summer box-office season wraps up on Labor Day, ticket sales are expected to reach $4.4 billion in the U.S. and Canada, up 8% over last summer, tying it for the second-best summer ever (the record of $4.75 billion was set in 2013).
