A summer resolution is like a New Year's resolution but is made at the beginning of the summer. These usually involve leisure activities such as golfing, boating, camping, or fishing, but may also include tasks around the house such as landscaping, roofing, or gardening. Unlike New Year's resolutions, these often do not succeed due to a simple lack of enough time. People often realize they have not succeeded around the 4th of July.
My summer resolutions were to golf and fish more. It is now the 4th of July and I have not done either one yet!

This is the fatigue that sets in during the summer blockbuster season. It usually happens about the middle of July when the majority of the high-end summer movies have premiered and have been in the theaters for over a month, some since May. This time period is when theaters are nearly empty.
I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and had the theater to myself. It was a case of summer movie fatigue.

These are the movies that are released from the middle of August to about the middle of September. They may have some elements of a summer blockbuster like science fiction and action, but they usually do not have a major draw since kids are starting to go back to school. Many times these are horror movies.
