The Biggest Summer Blockbusters of 2017, Ranked
Wonder Woman vs. Spider-Man. Mummies vs. Transformers. Pirates vs. Minions. Apes vs. Aliens. Are filmgoers facing franchise fatigue yet?

We’ve compiled a list of the biggest money-making blockbusters of the summer season to date—films released from May through mid-August—and ranked them by Metascore.
