Fall brings colder weather, sweaters, pumpkin-flavored treats, and new television shows to binge-watch. Historically, TV networks used the autumn season to launch their new programming because it coincided with big advertising agencies' spending schedules after a slow summer of reruns. Today, thanks to cable TV and streaming, the rules have altered, but the fall still maintains its dominance-especially since audiences have been so well trained.

"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" earned $40 million from 4,125 North American theaters, a 66% drop from a healthy $117.6 million debut, despite strong reviews.
