School started, and the summer season ended. This year's North America set the second-highest summer box office record in history, with films such as "Jurassic World","Avengers 2" and "Mind Agents" being credited with their outstanding performances.

According to statistics from Variety Network, the local box office in North America this summer (May 1-September 6) reached US$4.48 billion, second only to the US$4.75 billion in 2013. At that time, films such as "Iron Man 3","Stealing Dad 2","Body of Steel","Monster University","Speed and Furious 6" were released one after another during the summer. This year's winners belong to Universal and Disney. The former performed well in "Jurassic World"($647.4 million),"Little Yellow Man"($329.6 million) and "Out of Compton"($150.2 million), while the latter achieved outstanding results in "Avengers 2"($457.8 million) and "Mind Agents"($349.6 million). Paramount also got a piece of the pie with Mission Impossible 5 ($182.5 million).

It is worth noting that among the top 10 films this summer, 8 are sequels/reboots or animations; word of mouth has also become a key factor in boosting the box office, and all sold well films have generally good reviews around the world; With the influence of social media, film makers cannot earn box office by "deceiving" audiences into entering, and the quality of films spreads rapidly on the Internet.

After the summer season is over, the fall season is still worth looking forward to."007: Ghost Party","The Hunger Games 3: Mockingbird (Part 2)" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" are all expected to create the best results in this series.
