Middle Ground
Not everything this summer was as black and white as “winner” or “loser.” Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem was a solid hit but didn’t quite create the stir the studio probably wanted. Fast X got people into theaters, but not nearly at the pace of the earlier franchise installments. And Transformers: Rise of the Beasts certainly disappointed financially but seemed to have really struck a chord with fans. All of these were great stories of the summer, but maybe not quite winners or losers.
