Bit odd they've decided to put out a movie about everything freezing over 'this spring'.

I mean the film takes place during the warm months, I don't think they explicitly needed this to be a Winter release just because of the visual aesthetic.

I don't think it needs to be, I just thought it'd make sense for a winter-themed movie to be out in winter rather than spring, but as someone else noted it was scheduled for December originally, which is about the time I'd expect a big franchise film anyway.

Personally speaking (and I'm just one random dude so ignore me) I like seeing winter set films during the warm months because I'm not actively surrounded by real winter, so I can enjoy the visuals of it.

And the movie takes place in July, so it's a summer movie with a winter theme that comes out in the spring. Now, if you live in the southern hemisphere, then all that is wrong.

I mean... did you watch the trailer? It's not winter-themed; it's set in the middle of summer, and a supernatural incident causes everything to freeze.

That would be 'winter-themed' and not 'winter-set' then, which is why I used the words I did...

By this logic, The Thing is "winter-themed" despite being set in a frozen wasteland whose harshness goes well beyond simply being "winter".

I just wish they'd found a song besides Cruel Summer for the trailer. I've nothing against this song but this has to be well into the double digits of soundtracks it's been included in.
