suggest there might be a modest decline in attendance, but the movie business is still holding in quite well.”

Across the globe, the story was one of slowdowns, stall-outs, and surges. Spain began to rebound after tough economic times, with ticket sales rising 5%, and France had its second-best performance in 50 years. Yet other major markets had problems: Revenue fell by double digits in Germany, and growth stalled in South Korea.

In some cases, the declines can be chalked up to weaker local product. In oth-ers, the studio blockbusters didn’t excite as they had in previous years. (Studios point to parts of Asia and Latin America as regions in which Hollywood products are still find-ing a warm reception.) There were also cur-rency headaches; a strong U.S. dollar meant that Europe and Russia failed to contribute as much to the returns of major blockbust-ers as they once did.

A Look Ahead Disney’s “Guardians of the Galaxy 2” and Universal’s “The Fate of the Furious” are set for ’17.

Still, there is optimism, fueled by a look at the slate for 2017, which will see sequels to “Star Wars,” “Transformers,” “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Fast and the Furious,” “Despicable Me,” “Spider-Man,” and “Cars.” This Murderers’ Row has left analysts like Dergarabedian reaching for the perfect metaphor to encapsulate the moneymaking on the horizon.

“I call it the 100-year flood of movies,” he says.
