For question 11 I've always been under the impression that only movies from the previous weekend's top 12 count. Baumer can clarify that though.

[baumer]

Nope, you are incorrect Matt, all films count.

 

I'll be doing scoring today.

Wait, *all* films? So if "The New Rijksmuseum" which grossed $470 on 1 screen ($12k total gross over its 5 week run) had made it, it would have counted?

I think you are asking me something completely different than Matt is.  I'm not really sure what you are asking.  Matt wanted to know something very specific about films increasing on Saturday.

No, I just picked a bad example.  Batkid Begins was on 2 screens this last weekend and made $551 on Saturday, up 255% from Friday's $155. Would that make the answer to #11 "yes"?

Top 11 films only.  That's the way it is this summer.  Usually it is top 12 but for some reason Mojo has a hard time getting actuals for all twelve films.

[Wrath]

Ok, thanks.
