Apart from a handful of known quantities, a lot of this fall’s biggest contenders, both for the box office and the Oscars are original titles, so it will be quite a bit more challenging to predict success and failure.
To introduce you to the upcoming films, there will be two preview articles every month and this introduction every four months. The Season Preview article will focus on one of three seasons Spring Season (January through April), Tentpole Season (May through August) and Oscar Season (September through December). In these introductory articles, I will give you the current release schedule for the specified season, which may change as the release dates get closer.
