Pure Friday vs Preview Inflation

Industry Friday grosses bundle Thursday evening previews (starting between 2pm and 7pm). For major fan events (such as MCU films, Star Wars, or re-releases like Avengers: Endgame Encore), previews can constitute 30% to 50%+ of Friday. Modeling "Pure Friday" separates the initial front-loaded rush from true daytime demand.

Saturday Surge & Sunday Deceleration

Family movies and general audience titles usually see pure Friday to Saturday surges of +25% to +60%. Highly front-loaded fan films often experience flat or slightly negative Saturday comps. Sunday drop-offs range from -25% to -35% as work/school prep resumes Sunday evening.
