Still on the fence about this one. Looks cool, but this is from the director of the Mortal Kombat films. So, I'm a bit skeptical
and you'd think that they'd be trying to get good films to market while it is still yucky out and before the summer blockbuster time
Summer is when they rake it in. Winter is when they are usually least available, as plenty of actors, directors and studio people are all on vacation and unavailable. Also, they typically use the months of Jan and Feb as a dumping ground for movies that are shit or are going to do nothing insofar as business. Ticket reciepts are generally down substantially too after the holidays, so there's not quite as much risk of losing your shirt on an opening weekend (typical opening weekend in warmer weather tends to be around the $15 to $20 million mark, while in cold, it can go down to $10 million or less).
From the Ministry of market analysis.
