| CHART NOTES
Chart shows single weekend day box office as a percent of the overall weekend gross. Only wide opening weekends (i.e., movies that opened in more than 600 theaters) are shown. If a movie was initially in limited release and later went wide, its first wide release weekend is used on this chart. Movies that went into wide release on Saturday or Sunday are omitted. Four-day or longer holiday weekends are omitted. Highlighted rows indicate a record added to the chart within the past 365 days.
