    Wow...looks like a dismal weekend of under-performances for the new releases outside of the not included The Shallows. So, what happens when we all hit the over mark for every movie? No points for the week?

    We doing plain old 3 day this week or including the 4th as well? This is my three day pick but I'll update if we decide to go for the full long weekend.

    • The BFG - 25m
    • The Legend of Tarzan - 19m
    • The Purge: Election Year - 30m

    In my (very outdated) experience the 4th tends to act like a Sunday. Family movies do well, but overall crowds are lower than Friday/Saturday. But still much higher than a typical Monday.

    I think the box office sites will list both. They'll release their typical weekend numbers on Monday and then update Tuesday with the Holiday weekend numbers. But I'm not 100% on that.
