ELI5, why do games and movies start when school starts, and summer ends?

202 views

I get that most games and movies are aimed for adults and summer wouldn’t really matter, but why not grab both types of consumers? It’s a win-win, kids get more time to play their games, and companies would gain more money, since maybe kids AND adults are willing to pay for the game, so WHY?

Mostly tradition, but also because most people don’t want to be inside playing video games in the summer. And since most metrics are based on opening week/launch day sales, they want to pick the day when most people are ready and willing to pay.
