This will likely be a popular question!

Do you mean the weekend of May 30 - June 1, 2008 (three days)?

Is this for the USA and Canada? ("General Release" as per HD definitions.)

Any information available for the number of theaters that each film will be shown in?

For consistency with HD guidelines, should the Suspend Date be changed to 5pm PST on May 30th?

Settlement source ought be Nielson EDI.

Weekends are always 3 day (friday-sunday)

USA figures only (unless specifically mentioned in the title)

Sex should be 3100+ theaters.. Indiana was 4200 this week, but I'm not sure what the dropoff will be.

All the major movie websites refer back to the same Nielson data (boxofficemojo, the-numbers, imdb, etc) so settlement shouldn't be too tricky.

Agreed the suspend date should be pushed back a few hours as per the good question guide. Have flagged for edit.

With apologies. I wanted the question to suspend at 12:00 noon Eastern Time Friday. It is for the weekend from May 30, 2008 to June 1, 2008. US figures only. Straight-up numbers, which movie will make more money this weekend only.

Aren't the graphs on 2 choice, active questions pretty?

New York Times... but counting from Thursday. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/02/movies/02sex.html?ref=arts. I totally read this question wrong. I thought it was the typical head-to-head opening weekend question.

Anyway, this article may not help since it starts at Thursday and counts through the typical 3-day weekend.

Does anyone have hard numbers? The press reports I am seeing keep throwing in Thursday. I get the feeling they are trying to bolster a weaker than expected box office gross.

The actual numbers aren't in yet (usually late Mon aft PST), but the weekend estimates are usually pretty close to the finals:

1 Sex and the City $55,740,000
2 Indiana Jones $46,000,000
