Summer blockbuster season hits some highs, but falls financially

Hollywood's all-important summer movie season is drawing to a close, and this year it's been a mixed picture.

Tom Brook looks back at the hits of summer 2022, and at what can be done to bring audience figures back up to pre-pandemic levels.
