Coming soon, to a theater near you

June 06, 1993|By Knight-Ridder News Service

One movie, no matter how big it may be, does not a summer make. Especially this summer of '93.

More than 60 other movies are being released between now and the end of August, almost a third more than usual. What that means for the moviegoer is that smaller films might not stick around very long, especially if the monster movies like "Jurassic" take over the screens.

With that in mind, we offer this summer movie calendar of major releases to help you plan.
