The issue, I feel, is not what TIME of year it is, but what kind of MOVIES play during it. I guarantee you if TRFM4 came out,
no one would be using words like "studio dump" and "dog days of summer" to describe the massive record August weekend.
Once again, someone just needs to pull a 300 & slot a blockbuster in late-August to demonstrate once and for all the fundamental truth that good movies play well at any time of the year, and the ones that suck, bomb hard and lose lots of money for the companies that make and release them.
MCA Predictions Up. Looks like a sub-par weekend. on Aug 23, 11:28
you predict obama 2016. It is shame hsx didn't add obama 2016 as ipo on Aug 23, 11:29
Spolier Alert! Dead horse seen on HSX. Currently being beaten. Film @11. {nm} on Aug 23, 11:34
Lol Spoiler Dead Horse Smurf {nm} on Aug 23, 11:37
Investigating police report a broken record left at the scene {nm} on Aug 23, 12:23
He might be repetitive, but I wonder if clashing political views prevent the Obama movie from an IPO on HSX. on Aug 23, 13:00
Are you serious? {nm} on Aug 23, 13:19
I think that's reaching. There's no crystal ball saying which limited release political documentaries are going to break out. {nm} on Aug 23, 13:19
It was a fringe movie, financed by a few radicals--whouda thunk it? Anyway, missed opportunities occur about as frequently as the good ones. on Aug 23, 13:31
Mitt, is that you? {nm} on Aug 23, 12:41
Yeah, high singles for PRUSH, although I think $10M for PRUSH is just as likely. Surprised, a bit pleasantly, by 2016 Obama. Wow. Y'know, {nm} on Aug 23, 11:34
I have ignored 2016 Obama until now. It just seemed like one of those off-tha-radar Midwest movies that get funded by these fringe groups, {nm} on Aug 23, 11:36
ever so often. Now it's a serious contender. Deferring to MCA for this one, $6M looks likely. And I said earlier that HITRN is $10M 3-day & on Aug 23, 11:40
The problem I see with the week's openers is that they are not targeted for the mass market. I don't feel they should have opened so wide. on Aug 23, 12:31
The seats fo empty anyways since it's the end of summer. {nm} on Aug 23, 12:34
* go empty {nm} on Aug 23, 12:35

I think that fundamental truth has already been demonstrated time and time again, and studios are already adapting to it. on Aug 23, 13:14
Right, but you're using March as an example. I'm still waiting for them to slot movies like Smurfs 2 for AUGUST 31 instead of JULY 31. {nm} on Aug 23, 13:21
I don't think that the studios make enough good movies to fill a whole calendar year. There are always going to be gaps, like late August on Aug 23, 13:47
Or, I would argue, if they take one of two tentpoles and slot them in those August dog days that are typically occupied by "dumped" flicks. {nm} on Aug 23, 16:44
Or even MALEF, which with its current date may get murdered @ the BO when it's comes out summer 2014. {nm} on Aug 23, 13:22
Cost more money to run the projector. ;-) {nm} on Aug 23, 12:44
Want to add, APRTN was a Dark Castle prod, and they never make movies that AREN'T targeted at mass audiences. DarkC's deal w/WB went south, on Aug 23, 13:05
