  • Think of the dates and the school holidays
All films were released during or recently before the school holidays. This is due to the company targeting their audience and making their films more accessible since school holidays are the time where not only students have free time, but adults typically take their holidays/ time off in these periods as well.

La La Land,  Trainspotting 2, Sing, The Lego Batman Movie, Split, Moana, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Rings, 50 Shades Darker, Storks, Trolls.
