Posted by Tim (aka othertim) Aug 26 '18, 10:16

Mother's Day +32.5% 4/29/16
The Blind Side +17.6% 11/20/09
Bolt +1.4% 11/21/08
Shrek +0.3% 5/16/01
Puss in Boots -3% 10/28/11
Brother Bear -4.5% 11/1/03
How the Grinch Stole Christmas -5.4%, 11/17/00
Crazy Rich Asians -5.7%, 8/15/18

Sixth Sense is the poster child for weekend holds, but was only in 2,161 theaters opening weekend, 2,395 theaters in 2nd weekend, because 1999 was several box office eras ago.
