Summer is finally here and that can mean only one thing: Time to hole up in a darkened room with $7 Milk Duds and a bucket of extra-butter popcorn because these blockbusters aren’t going to watch themselves!

This year, though, is a little unusual since what is pretty much guaranteed to be the biggest movie of the summer — “Avengers: Infinity War” — came out a couple of weeks too early.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t still plenty of reasons to go to the movies between now and Labor Day, the official end of the Hollywood summer. Whether it’s to take in a thought-provoking period drama or just to watch a dinosaur eat stuff, there’s something for every taste.

Here is a guide to this summer’s wide releases aimed at broad audiences (in other words, everything but the R-rated stuff):

May

“Life of the Party” — Melissa McCarthy plays a middle-aged mother whose life is upended when she suddenly winds up single again, prompting her to go back to college to get the degree she never got and have the college experience she missed out on.

Release date: May 11

“Breaking In” — A mother (Gabrielle Union) has to break into her late father’s impenetrable, high-tech mansion after her children are taken hostage inside by a band of criminals. Think “Die Hard,” but with a Mother’s Day twist.

MPAA rating: PG-13 for violence, menace, bloody images, sexual references and brief strong language

Release date: May 11

“The Seagull” — Because nothing screams summer movie more than an adaptation of Russian playwright Anton Chekhov’s late 19th-century drama, right? Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Annette Bening, Saoirse Ronan and Elisabeth Moss, this period dramedy deals with the romantic entanglements of a group of artists and lovers on a Russian farm.

MPAA rating: PG-13 for some mature thematic elements, a scene of violence, drug use and partial nudity

“Solo: A Star Wars Story” — “Even a guy named ‘Solo’ needs a co-pilot” is not the tagline for this Star Wars prequel/spinoff that tells the story of when Han met Chewie (and Lando), but it definitely should’ve been. With its famously fraught production and fan backlash against the new Star Wars movies more intense than ever, this return to a galaxy far, far away could either be one of the summer’s biggest hits or one of its biggest disappointments.
