Fuck you its ~~January~~ February. I wonder why studios always publish so much swill at the beginning of the year? I would figure that indoor activities during the winter would be better for blockbusters
My guess is a combo of releasing good movies to take advantage of the holiday season and not "wasting" them by releasing in the general New Year/Post Christmas spending slump. Release the slop when theatre attendance is at it lowest anyway and save the ones they're banking on for more popular seasons. It's also a little chicken and egg, is attendance low because shit movie releases or are shit movies released due to fewer people going to theatres?
I reckon people would go to the theaters if there was something good worth watching. Regardless of the time of year.
Financial year shenanigans is my guess.
There was also that strike for a while.
