Top 10 Summer Blockbusters

First of all, let me tell you how these films were picked. Summer blockbusters steal the spotlight, become instant classics (and favorites) most importantly bring in top dollar. Their popularity along with their monetary success makes these films hot.

Some of these films were huge hits because they are part of a successful franchise like Toy Story 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Anticipation automatically builds up after something like Transformers (2007). Others, like The Dark Knight, become instant classics. Epic directors such as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Michael Bay and Christopher Nolan also help out in the marketing of these films by just having their names in the credits.

All these films, no matter how old you are, were part of your childhood and so will always hold a special space in our hearts.
