Would the IM be more accurate if used for just Friday totals rather than Thurs evening + Fri ?

Transformers Friday number is 41.6m, but it's actually 8.8m + 32.8m.  Would 8.8m + (IM x 32.8m) be more useful than IM x 41.6m ?  It would remove the differences in thurs evening shows that all these movies have.  It would indicate a higher OW for Transformers 4 than the regular IM since Transf4 had a lower Thu:Fri ratio than the other $90m openers this year.

In case any one is curious, here's what it would be for these:
Cap2 = 3.177
DoFP = 3.018
ASM2 = 3.132
Godz = 2.882

Useful, not accurate {nm} MattW Jun 28, 20:56

Many people who post about IMs on the main board already adjust for midnights the way you describe {nm} RogerMore Jun 29, 11:09
