This summer should beat last summer. The lineup is better. Studios are returning to their bread and butter, which are sequels. Last summer there were a lot of remakes that didn't excite audiences.
When you look at 2005, which overflowed with remakes and sequels, I think that the Academy recognized that the best films came from independent filmmakers not the big studios.
It might take getting through the whole season to see whether remakes work or not, ... But right now they're not selling.
