With Avengers: Infinity War dominating all the headlines on account of making more money than the combined GDP of the known universe, it’s hard to remember that there are, in fact, other movies being released. For one, the summer will ‘officially’ kick off with a trio of lackluster new releases – none of which are going into more than 2,000 theaters. However, once we hit June and July, things will begin to shape up. Looking past the major franchise titles, however, a plethora of interesting independent and smaller releases could find success this summer. Let’s take a look at some of them.

5. Crazy Rich Asians (Warner Brothers, August 17th)

With the topic of representation and diversity catching so much attention in Hollywood (specifically following titles such as Black Panther and A Wrinkle in Time), it’s no surprise that the first trailer for Crazy Rich Asians made a bit of a splash online. The premise of a young couple dealing with wacky family members and attempting to stay together isn’t exactly anything terribly new, but the interest surrounding it – as well as the Asian representation that’s almost entirely present from most Hollywood releases – could end up making this a solid late-summer comedy hit.

4. Eighth Grade (A24, July 13th)

The big screen debut of writer-director Bo Burnham found fantastic reception at Sundance, where it still has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with several dozen reviews. The closest comparison to last summer would have to be The Big Sick, another feature debut from a fairly popular comedian. The difference here is that Burnham isn’t on screen, which may hinder its potential a bit. However, the trailer has already garnered plenty of attention, and if A24 plays their cards right and gets this into wide release while the iron is hot, it could end up being another Lady Bird.

3. Won’t You Be My Neighbor? (Focus Features, June 8th)

While most documentaries don’t make much of an impression at the box office, it would be wrong to underestimate the power of nostalgia. To say that Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was a popular property for many is a drastic understatement. While I don’t know what scope of release this is getting, I’ve seen the trailer and poster popping up at various theaters that I frequent. Combine that with the huge reaction the trailer got online, and it seems like this could potentially be a win for Focus Features.

2. Searching (August 3rd, Screen Gems)

Without any trailer officially available online as of this writing, it’s hard to have too much grounding on why I think Searching could become a sleeper hit. The computer-based thriller was very well received on the festival circuit, currently holding a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Screen Gems has scheduled the film for a wide release in August, where horror films can easily break out – especially if they’re following a particularly weak July, which this year seems to be shaping up for. The comparisons to Unfriended are inevitable (a film which has a spin-off scheduled for sometime this year, might I add) but the shift away from the supernatural into the crime thriller genre could definitely make this an interesting experiment.

Hereditary (A24, June 8th)

After an explosive debut at Sundance, A24 has kept the hype alive after several additional very well received screenings, such as those at SXSW and Overlook Film Festival. While The Witch was a modest hit at $25 million, It Comes at Night was panned by audiences and accused of false advertising, leaving it at just around $13.9 million. When A24 made the decision to move this latest outing from March to the same weekend as Night, I questioned that choice. However, it could be seen as a sign of confidence – that they really do have something on their hands this time, and if early word of mouth and reviews are to be believed, it’s genuinely frightening. The trailer has been shown in front of many films I’ve seen lately, and always gets an audible response from the crowd (especially that bird scene). Not to mention the PR-worthy Peter Rabbit incident that just occurred, and A24 could end up with a big win, especially now that The Nun moved to September, leaving it as the only horror release until Slender Man. Whether or not it clicks with audiences, however, remains to be seen.
