All I can say is this is mostly wrong. The numbers I used did not include any of Thursday's grosses. I know better than that. Also the data involved a "sample" of theatres if by sample you mean a total of 3,600 theatres or more. That is, it was the vast majority of total theatres that have the ability to report grosses. I was also very careful to use comps that were being polled at a similar number of locations. In other words, I know what I'm doing.
