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?

There are a few exceptions to this but, generally speaking, Something like 50% of a movie’s total box office is made on opening weekend. It’s not that hard to guess out a movies total box once you know what it made opening weekend.
