The upcoming movie lineup for Spring and Summer of 2013 is composed of reboots of classics, as well as originals, that have already received a boost from some prehistoric DNA. Ponder this: Approximately $20 million was earned in the first weekend of an adapted Spielberg-favorite from twenty years ago! On April 5th, fans experienced face-to-face encounters with dinosaurs like they never have before when they sported 3-D glasses in their local theaters. The success of “Jurassic Park” in 3-D can be perceived as an omen of sorts for what’s to come in the next few months.

In short, people still love going to the cinema and enjoying the magic of movies.

In its most recent issue, Entertainment Weekly published a section titled, “All the Buzz on 109 New Films” for the remaining Spring and forthcoming Summer months. After reading through the extensive list, I compiled a rundown within a condensed three-tier system. It’s in chronological order according to the release dates. The number of movies in each category will vary, as it’s based on quality and not quantity.

The phrase, “what goes around, comes around” definitely applies to a few of the films that have been rejuvenated.

With all of us cognizant of the increasingly high movie theater ticket prices (Dinosaurs Aren’t the Only Things Jumping at You in 3-D), it’s time to start saving now for a few of these highly anticipated movies!
