why they declare movies successful or flops so early during their runs.

1.36K views

It seems like even before the first weekend is over, all the box office analysts have already declared the success or failure of the movie. I know personally, I don’t see a movie until the end of the run, so I don’t have to deal with huge crowds and lines and bad seats, it’s safe to say that nearly everyone I know follows suit. Doesn’t the entire run – including theater receipts, pay per view, home media sales, etc. – have to be considered for that hit or flop call is made? If not, why?

it’s all more interesting nowadays because if you can get people to leave their house and go see a movie, rather than wait for it on x delivery service, that means something.
