Surely the opening weekend demonstrates nothing at all about the quality of the movie, but only the quality of the marketing. When your friend tells you “I saw such a great film last week, you must go and see it!” then that is the sign of the movie’s quality. Why would anyone who wasn’t financially invested in the movies care about opening weekend figures?
