Did the average player even know about this WalMart Presale? No. And all it's doing is over inflating theater business for the weekend.
You could tack that money on any old time; why at the beginning of the run? All it does is overinflate actual ticket buying that happened from the movie's real opening anyway. It does not add to the portrait of the movie's business over the weekend.
And why didn't anybody bring up this presale BEFORE Thursday night? I'll tell you why: because it was a complete non issue until it was brought up, because A) Nobody here was in on it, it wasn't enough of a known commodity to be brought up (generally speaking, although there will undoubtedly be people who chime in after the fact telling us all about their strategy of holding it one way or the other because of it), and B) once the news of it appeared on the boards, it helped drive the price of the movie UP UP UP. And that's all part of the overreactionary tendancies that you see each and every day in the marketplace, pure and simple.
To me, all that presale did was overinflate what happened at the box office this weekend, and I think it was a good idea to keep it from the total. It didn't help me long, but that's okay.
