Side thought: gauging whether a movie is good or bad based on opening weeks in theaters is stupid. I have never gone to an opening weekend and don’t think I’ve met anyone who has.

Of course you have. You just haven't talked to them about it.
Odds are good you've even met a murderer and didn't know it.

Opening weekend doesn't tell you if it's good or bad. It does give you a good idea if it's going to make a profit. This one is going to be a big money looser.

This is the most absurd post….

Opening weekend is all that matters when it comes to a movies success. It has always been that way. There are very few movies where the financial success does not come from opening weekend.

Without making money on residuals like rentals and syndication box office is how we measure value
