Midday at the Movies: Are this year's summer blockbusters lackluster?

Today is Midday at the Movies, our monthly focus on new films and film-industry trends with movie aficionados Jed Dietz, founding director of the Maryland Film Festival, and Max Weiss, film critic and Editor-in-Chief of Baltimore Magazine.

We discuss some current releases, including Furiosa, and look at recent poor box office numbers across the United States.
