The Fourth of July Blockbuster Parade

An infographic look at an American cinema tradition

This time of year is for reflecting on what it means to be an American. Part of that includes thinking about the two great American past times. No, we aren’t talking about baseball. We’re talking about eating ?and watching movies.

What is more American than driving your car to your nearest movie theater and watching

the newest film on the big screen, while stuffing your face with buttery, sugary foods and washing it down with soda? We say this ?is the height of the American experience.

Cinemas help celebrate our American freedoms by making this time of year one ?of their biggest waves in movie releases. Before the fireworks go off around Bloomington, take a look at what films ?are going to be playing and compare them with some forefathers of the Fourth of July blockbuster tradition.
