Cinema is having its best summer in a decade.

The article reports that the summer of 2026 has been the most successful in terms of cinema attendance in Mexico over the past decade, driven by the success of 'Toy Story 5' and 'Spider-Man: A New Day,' which together sold 36 million tickets nationwide. Mauricio Durán, president of Canacine, noted that these films contributed nearly 3 million pesos in box office revenue. The FIFA World Cup and recent rain did not negatively affect attendance, with some theaters even seeing increased crowds due to the World Cup being shown during peak hours. Other notable films include 'Super Mario Galaxy,' 'La Odisea,' 'Minions & Monstruos,' and the live-action version of 'Moana.' Attendance for the entire year is up 4% compared to 2025, and there are expectations of further growth before December with upcoming releases like 'The Hunger Games,' 'Resident Evil,' 'Avengers: Doomsday,' and 'Jumanji.' National films also show positive trends, with '¿Quieres Ser Mi Novia?' leading in ticket sales.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about movie attendance and box office performance without overtly favoring any particular political ideology. It provides balanced reporting on both international and national films, citing industry figures and quotes from executives without taking a clear立场.
