Because the human sacrifice scenes are a metaphor for the 6:00 am sale frenzy at Best Buy. ;)

It was released on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, which does not occur in the summer.

I believe films released in December have been proven to have an inside track for Oscars.

Short attention span of public and media, IMO.
