Thanks to hits like “The Batman” in March and “Sonic The Hedgehog 2” in April, the box office has recovered this year, but still has a long way to go before the pandemic.

Jurassic World: Dominion is the latest entry in the dinosaur saga, and Elvis, a biographical film about the King with Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker, is expected in June.
