Black Panther seems to be the only other one due to it being released on Black History Month.

there is also no guarantee those release dates are locked in. February is still a ways away, Ant Man3 could turn into a May release and then something else gets bumped to 2024 and so on.

I'm just leery of this very odd February release. Disney still likes money, sometimes and we all know May is a better time for the big bucks. not dead of winter. February is such a shitty month. everyone usually stays inside. Ant-Man3 might be a really bad movie that they have no faith in, so it could be why its being released on that date. no idea. its just weird.
i would set the 4 movies as May(Memorial Day), July(Independence Day), September(Labor Day) and Thanksgiving or Christmas.

I mean it also depends what else is releasing at the time. Next year is super stacked with possible "blockbusters."

i know the movie studios coordinate release dates with each other now, so thats a possibility. but it seems like a bad idea for a big budget film to be hung out to dry in winter.

Opening in February with a blockbuster film means you have almost no real competition. Deadpool and Black Panther both opened huge in February and had long legs. It's a calculated decision. You lose some from kids being in school and the weather but then you gain from a lack of real competition.
October used to be a relatively slow month except for horror but that's really no longer the case, as well. Venom, Joker, Bond, Black Adam, etc. Most of the top ten October weekends have happened in the last five years and all in the last ten. Movie studios are realizing that sometimes it's worthwhile to dominate what used to be a slow period than to try and compete against other blockbusters. A movie like Top gun probably significantly lowered the ceilings of a dozen films.
