The INSIDER Summary:
- July is packed with potential summer blockbusters.
- Some of the most anticipated include "Spider-Man: Homecoming,""War for the Planet of the Apes," and "The Emoji Movie."
As June winds down at the box office, the second half of 2017 is looming, ready to jump out and grab us. Which means there's another month of movie viewing fun heading to screens all over, and its name just happens to be July. Yes folks, it's time to break out your schedules and make room for 10 big time products of cinema, as the following films are ready to potentially earn your money, as well as your respect.
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Yeah, it hasn't been that long since Peter Parker was swinging around on his web on our screens, but "Spider-Man: Homecoming" marks a rebirth of the famed web-slinger nonetheless. With "The Amazing Spider-Man" duology now firmly in the rear view, it's time to get excited about New York's friendly neighborhood arachnid-human hybrid. The advanced buzz is only heightening the anticipation, as people seem to really dig Tom Holland's first solo effort as the kid who would be the man who would be the Spider-Man. If it's even just more of the same spidey stuff we saw in "Captain America: Civil War," we're already souped.
Opening: Friday, July 7
A Ghost Story
Grief is a theme that can be explored in so many ways, especially when it pertains to the death of a loved one. Yet "A Ghost Story" seems to go about its examination of what we leave behind in the wake of our departure in a way we rarely see: we're going to follow the ghost's point of view. With Casey Affleck as the titular ghost and Rooney Mara as the woman grieving for his passing, it looks we're going to see far past the point one would normally see in such a story. But from what we're hearing, it's probably a good idea for you to avoid the trailers if you're even slightly hyped about the latest from A24.

War for the Planet of the Apes
As if the recent tide of critical buzz wasn't enough to entice us into getting ready to experience "War for the Planet of the Apes," the fact that the movie just looks so damned good was enough to draw us closer to this revolutionary finale. With the "Apes" trilogy already delivering some solid base hits with "Rise" and "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," it looks like "War for the Planet of the Apes" could be the home run the series has been aiming to deliver.
Opening: Friday, July 14
