Most films release their movies just in time for the Oscar seasons, i.e the time period in which Hollywood studios release their more critically acclaimed films, hoping to win at the Academy Awards.

 

Films that win awards typically see a boost in sales. To take advantage of this, the studios release films they deem "Oscar worthy" in the fall, before the eligibility cut-off, so that the films remain fresh in the memories of critics and Academy members right before the Awards, increasing their chances of being nominated

 

Ya know the obvious baits for Oscars, Grammys etc.

 

I'm sure it will change in a while

Plus "Death Of A Bachelor" should get the boost from the performance on Jimmy Fallon.

Also, "Fever You Can't Sweat Out" is in 130s with almost 6 000 sales.
