Here is a good question, when is the average release date of the movies that usually garner the Oscar for the Best picture? I wonder if the studios try to release their bet of the year (aside from summer blockbusters) at the end of the year when typically a lot of people go to the movies since school is out and everything over the Christmas break.
dark night, twilight, yes man, step brothers, all these films were good with dark night being the best!
