The summer 2023 release slate is filled with potential blockbusters from various franchises, directors, and reliable studios, ranging from Pixar to the MCU as the movies with the biggest box office predictions. Summer 2022 marked an unprecedented return to form for the box office as it recovered from the pandemic, including a few surprises with new MCU movies like Thor: Love and Thunder failing to hit $1 billion while Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick broke numerous records on its unexpected $1.5 billion run (via Box Office Mojo). Considering The Super Mario Bros. Movie‘s box office set the momentum running early as it broke the $1 billion barrier in April, the highly anticipated summer 2023 slate is predicted to end with a few more movies joining the billion-dollar club.
