Although the box office has yet to fully recover from the pandemic, at least one studio has good reason to celebrate this Fourth of July weekend.

Universal notes that if its three current releases take the top three spots on the July 4 charts — and that is very likely considering both new releases are projected for openings of over $10 million — it would become the first studio since 2005 to do a podium sweep of the box office.
