Paramount PicturesIt's looking more and more like Hollywood will want to forget the 2016 summer movie season. Ticket sales are down about 10% from last summer as a slew of blockbusters ("Alice Through the Looking Glass," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows," "The BFG," to name a few) have underperformed. And it looks like the end of the summer isn't going to be any better. Early projections suggest that Paramount's "Ben-Hur" will open with between $14 million and $15 million at the domestic box office, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
