Bill’s Opening Weekend Prediction - $24M ($17.2M Actual)
*The Popcorn Period – The settlement date for all movie contracts takes place approximately four weeks after a film has been released in theatres. It is during this 4 weeks that a film will collect money at the box office. If a film makes $50M at the box office during this 4 weeks, the contract will cash out a $50. I refer to this time frame as the Popcorn Period.
