The Bikeriders Ending Explained
Summary
- Summer 2024 brings exciting movies, following the success of 2023 amidst the pandemic challenges.
- Highly-anticipated movies, like Despicable Me 4 and Maxxxine, are now playing in theaters.
- New releases, such as Fly Me To The Moon, offer a mix of romance, comedy, drama, and thrills.
The summer of 2024 continues with some of this year's most exciting movies, and these, along with some of June's most popular releases, are now playing in theaters. 2023 was a big year for cinema after a couple of tough years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with massive, record-breaking box-office successes and critically acclaimed stories – and, luckily, this good streak continues this year. 2024 also has various highly-anticipated movies coming up, of which some can be currently enjoyed in theaters.
July started strong with the release of the latest installment in the Despicable Me franchise and Ti West's Maxxxine, the closing chapter in his X trilogy (for now, at least). Accompanying these and some of June's best releases, such as Inside Out 2 and Bad Boys: Ride or Die, are a horror movie starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage, and a romantic comedy-drama about the moon landing and the "back-up" NASA prepared for it.
