I think that's a function of awards eligibility windows. It's better to release late in that window, to be fresh in the minds of committee members, and it will cost less to advertise to them.
- npsimons 10y ago> I think that's a function of awards eligibility windows. Only marginally at best; read the GQ article from 2011. "Summer" has been starting earlier and earlier and ending later and later for decades, mostly because studios realize that "Summer" blockbusters can make a ton of money. Check the cross-over between highest grossing films versus AFI's top lists.

And the summer action blockbuster does well in non-English-speaking markets. The "small" character and writing-driven film, not so much.
