A Labor Day weekend-only record.
When I wrote that, I was thinking of openers, but then, J&SBSB has already opened. I was also thinking (early morning sleepy brain here), that I couldn't recall any major blockbusters running that weekend-- but there have been a few summer flicks that kept going through Labor Day weekend.
However. . .
Have any Askew flicks ever been running for Labor Day weekend? If so, we should get stats and make sure those get beat, at least (for an Askew Labor Day weekend record). This may happen anyway, but wouldn't hurt to know.
Better yet, though. . . Some other records to look for (in order of achievabilty, 1 being easiest). Any movie stats buffs around?
1. Record take for a flick opened the week immediately before Labor Day
2. Record take for a flick already open during summer before Labor Day
71 million would be a bit much, obviously. But that number doesn't sound right for Labor Day.
