 * ... that starting today, there will be a lot of bad movies released for the next two months ?
 * ALT1:... that The Silence of the Lambs is the only post-studio era movie that went into wide release during the winter dump months to win the Academy Award for Best Picture?

 * Comment: I propose the hook for January 3, the first weekend day of the winter dump-months season. It may be a little unencyclopedic but it'll be relevant and it will get clicks. If we want something less catchy (but less date-specific), we can go with the second one. While it's certainly long enough, it's by no means complete, and I will be adding more to it over the Christmas holidays, so there might well be other possible hooks.
 * UPDATE: OK, it's done. I suppose we could still use the original hook, maybe even tying it into an upcoming dump release like The Legend of Hercules. And here's another one:
 * ALT2: ... that the success of horror films like The Devil Inside and Mama during the dump months has led studios to consider releasing them at all times of the year?
