 Summer 2016 wide release movies sucked.
The best is probably Finding Dory or Captain America, neither of which seems destined to be a classic. Hopefully Fall will be better.

10 Cloverfield Lane was a better blockbuster than anything released so far this summer by a longshot.

Hmm, cost $15m and made $72m. 10 Cloverfield Lane is not at all a blockbuster.

 Re: Summer 2016 wide release movies sucked.
Civil War was an A+ film. Conjuring 2 was solid and better than the original. Ghostbusters, X-Men, Dory and The Shallows were pretty good too.
Last summer had 9 movies I gave a B+ or higher to. Counting Civil War as 2, we have 7 this year with Sausage Party (and Neighbors/Nice Guys on blu ray) still to come. So it's lagging, but not abnormally bad or anything.

As you said this year the best wide release is CA:CW. Which did not have as strong of a reception as Winter Soldier, and already seems like audiences were only momentarily satisfied with it, given its truly atrocious multiplier.

I haven't even been to the movies once this summer.
Nothing has piqued my interest enough to warrant it.

It happens.
Remember the summer of 2006? There were, like, 2 good movies that entire summer. OK, maybe 3 (The Devil Wears Prada, Little Miss Sunshine, Talladega Nights).

 Re: Summer 2016 wide release movies sucked.
2016 B+ or higher Films: The Nice Guys, CA, Central Intelligence, Star Trek, Finding Dory, The Shallows, Bad Moms 2016 Decent films: Money Monster, Apocalypse, Conjuring 2, Ghostbusters, JB, Purge, BFG, SLOP
Total 15
2015 B+ Or Higher: AOU, Mad Max, Spy, Inside Out, Ant Man, Trainwreck, MI5, The Gift 2015 Decent Films: San Andreas, Jurassic World, TG, Southpaw, Vacation, Compton, UNCLE, Walk in the Woods
Total 16
Pretty much a wash for me, and there are a few films left I think I have potential like SS, Sausage Party, Don't Breathe, War Dogs and Pete's Dragon
2014 was the real stinker. I don't think I liked more than 10 films that year.

 Re: Summer 2016 wide release movies sucked.
GOF is the only Potter film i went to see in a theater and of the 4 ive seen the best one IMO.
This summer have only seen three films Civil War, Dory and TMNT2. The latter two for my kids. I thought Dory was good and Civil War was great.
Hoping to still catch Trek, Bourne and SS.
