It looks like blockbuster movies are all set to get back into the summertime groove, very soon. The season kicks off with A Quiet Place Part II, at the end of May and it seems like another blockbuster follows every few weeks. To say nothing of FOUR MCU movies before the year is out. (They have some catching up to do!)
Without further adieu, here’s a list of the prominent movies scheduled to be released. Let me know in the comments if there’s something you think I missed. I didn’t try to list every movie, just the noteworthy ones.

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
November 19, 2019
Love love love this app. And, after receiving an email from Dan (the creator) that read as though it was a one-on-one communication sent only to me, I felt compelled to leave a long-overdue review. My son and I are absolutely addicted to this app…especially since I discovered it at the onset of the Marvel craze. Now we use it to confirm if there is a scene following the credits. Often times, we are the ONLY ones there watching the bonus scene…and it cracks us up. LOL! Thanks, RunPee!
