Warner Bros. has owned the summer box office for over a month straight thanks to 3 hit movies
Warner Bros. is on a box-office win streak. The studio has released three films in the last two months — "The Meg," "Crazy Rich Asians," and "The Nun" — that have landed it at the top of the box office for five weeks in a row.
The only other studio to do that this year was Disney with "Black Panther," which went five straight weeks at the top once it debuted in February.
Not only has Warner Bros. dominated the domestic box office, but Exhibitor Relations analyst Jeff Bock told Business Insider it has also reigned supreme recently because its movies appeal to foreign audiences.
