Movies should be released in accordance with the weather they portray? It better be snowing in Rogue One. 

Movies that portray a very strong seasonal atmosphere throughout should be released in the proper season. Or are you telling me christmas based movies would do well in June?

And it's mostly cold in Alaska. The point is that most of the U.S. and world has seasons, so catering to those seasons is a good idea.

Is Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk the biggest flop of the year?

It is a monumental bomb, especially for some one of Lee's clout. 100m+ predictions were not uncommon a few months ago, and instead it made 1m DOM.

 

 

I think it shows how important critics have become to success, especially to those kinds of films. I highly doubt it would have ever flopped that spectacularly prior to RT's rise in prominence. 

 

On the bright side, one more flop for K Stew. Maybe one day my dream of never having to see her in a film again can actually come true.

I think SLOP is slightly superior to DM2, so happy to see it beat it. You'd think Illumination wouldn't be going so sequel crazy seeing it beat the sequel to their signature franchise.

I like watching a beach or desert movie in the dead of winter.

Die hard 1 and 3 were christmas/winter time movies released in summer.

A pure Christmas themed movie in summer would not be a good idea though.

What reason is there for them to start fudging already? Aside from OWs, the only other time to do it is near the end of a run if a certain benchmark is within reach and trying to be achieved.
