Because it's not being released to appeal to a younger audience. It's an R-rated movie. It doesn't have to follow the counter-school schedule like most blockbusters do. If you see a blockbuster, $250 million movie that doesn't follow this pattern, then somebody in marketing for that company either felt that it wasn't gonna be that big of a hit, or somebody ended up getting fired over it. Either that, or the movie couldn't hold it's own against the mega-monster-movies of the summer. I mean, December 10 is just close enough to be right up against Christmas, so it's sort of following the counter-school schedule, but it's not so close as, say, your LOTR movies in that regard.
