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.
