Summer Blockbuster

a movie released between about the middle of May through about the middle of August. These are usually big-budget movies, often sci-fi and action. Usually they are rated PG-13 so as not to be seen as childish but not to exclude the teenagers who are out of school and can't get into R-rated movies yet.

Jaws is often thought of as the first summer blockbuster.

Pre-Holiday Movie

These are the movies that are released from the middle of October to about the middle of November, just before the holiday movie season. They may have some elements of being a holiday movie (slim but potential Oscar nomination, somewhat epic, drama, romantic comedy) but are usually not the major draw that the holiday blockbusters are. These are frequently horror movies to capitalize on Halloween.

The pre-holiday movies serve Hollywood by advertising the holiday blockbusters.
