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.
