As original films like "Novocaine" and "Mickey 17" struggle and "Captain America" and "Paddington" sequels fall short, when will the box office rebound?
Original films like “ Novocaine,” “ Black Bag ” and “Mickey 17” are failing to draw sizable crowds, while sequels in once-reliable franchises such as “Captain America: Brave New World” and “Paddington in Peru” are falling drastically short of their predecessors. Attendance is expected to pick up in spring and into the summer, as “A Minecraft Movie,” “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,” “Jurassic World Rebirth,” “Lilo & Stitch” and other blockbuster hopefuls land in theaters.
