How To Understand The Movie Seasons

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

If you are among those people who are really into movies, you probably take the time to watch trailers, and even read reviews, before you go to see a movie – which means that whenever you go to see a movie, you will be going with a pretty clear idea of what you will be seeing. If, on the other hand, you are more of a casual moviegoer, you may find yourself going to the theater every once in a while “just to see what is playing,” and if you do this, you may frequently find yourself surprised by what you're seeing, as you have no idea what is in theaters, or what you are actually sitting down to watch.

Although part of the fun includes the surprise as far as some people are concerned, others would like a bit more clarification on the movies they are seeing, without having to first watch the trailers or read the reviews. If you want to accomplish this, one of the best ways to do so is to understand the movie seasons. You have probably heard people use the term "summer blockbuster" at one time or another, but you may not have known what it meant; summer is usually when the big-budget movies, as well as lots of romantic comedies and children's movies, are released, as this is the time of year when most people are going to the movies – so if you are going to see a movie in the summer, you will likely find yourself watching something that falls into one of these categories.

If you appreciate movies that fall into the category of “art,” the end of the year is the best time for you to go see movies. A movie has to come out before the end of December in order for it to be considered for the Academy Awards, so if you see a movie in November, December, or January, you will probably see something with a smaller budget, but with better acting, and a better all-around script.

And while there are definitely exceptions to all of these, the beginning of the year – that is, February through April – is usually when movie studios release the movies that do not fall into either of the first two categories, which means you will get a lot of “throwaway” movies that you may not actually want to spend 2 hours watching!
