Back in the day before the Colorado incident, only revenue after midnight on Thursday was included. Studios agreed that they wanted Thursday

previews and they wanted the revenue included in the weekend and thus, the compromise that all previews on Thursday are indeed part of the weekend. Maybe there is a caveat that they can't be the first show of the day. Who knows...but yeah...Thursday shows matter TOO!  =) 

Bad Boys $56m weekend {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 09, 07:25

5.8 in previews. So a 4 day cume for a 3 day count. OW descriptions should all be amended to note Thurs to Sun if Thurs is preview. Rocket Jun 09, 07:38

Thu previews have been included in Fri-Sun for years, decades. Why pick on BADB4? {nm} Antibody Jun 09, 07:43

Hadn't noticed it years/decades. Noticed it in the last few months. Not picking...straw/camel. But OK. Is OW desc accurate though? Rocket Jun 09, 08:00

Yes, it's accurate. Have you checked and compared the weekend box office charts? {nm} Antibody Jun 09, 08:05

What I mean is: "Opening weekend is the first Friday to Sunday of wide release, unless otherwise defined" [no mention of Thurs previews] Rocket Jun 09, 08:19

For consideration :) Rocket Jun 09, 08:19

Again, Thu preview is Friday box office. If it was Thursday, it would be reported as Thursday box office. {nm} Antibody Jun 09, 08:30

Dammit Jim, I'm a pilot not a Hollywood exec. :D Rocket Jun 09, 08:33

I'm surprised no studio has just come out and said, "Ths is BS"... maybe because they want the Thurs boost for their movies, too. TheWeekendWarrior Jun 09, 11:33

Its not a boost, its opening weekend box office Moviesnob Jun 09, 12:42

And yet, the squabbles when a movie wins the box office solely from money clearly made in Thursday previews continue. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 09, 13:41

Between the studios when it's a close call for first place. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 10, 06:09

EmpireCityBO may very well have a good gut instinct when it comes to BO projections. ;) {nm} Jay_Beezy Jun 09, 08:12

My prediction was $55.6 million, and that was from weeks ago, never changed due to the ludicrous $30 million stories. TheWeekendWarrior Jun 09, 08:19

I had it at 50, but I didn't count 10% from Thurs. So I guess close as well - for what we were estimating. "Good job" to you tho! Rocket Jun 09, 08:36

His gut instinct based on just 1 day or no presales is a lot less accurate than projections based on presales the week before opening. {nm} Antibody Jun 09, 09:01

Watchers $7 million {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 09, 08:18
