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

1.57K 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?

The initial demand of the first month will be used to decide how long it stays in theaters, how it will be sold to pay-per-view., how it will be released internationally, when it will be released for sale.
