Ranking the 10 best blockbusters of summer 2024, including Deadpool & Wolverine and Trap

As we start to break out the pumpkin spice candles and pick out our best Halloween costumes for next month, we can start to see the summer slowly fading into fall.

With the extremely fall-friendly Beetlejuice Beetlejuice dominating at the box office last weekend, the summer movie season has officially given us its final bow.

There were some absolutely great films this summer at the mid-budget and independent level, with I Saw the TV Glow, The Bikeriders, Dìdi, Themla and Blink Twice just to name a few great examples.

We’re going to go big with our rankings for the summer crop, parsing through the 10 best blockbusters that we saw at the multiplex over the summer months. From Marvel to M. Night Shyamalan, some truly terrific films on this list helped us beat the heat and soak in the best of big-budget moviemaking.
