A Thursday is an odd day to open. I'm pretty sure I remember one of the previous ones being bumped back from a Friday release to a Wednesday.

I just want to make sure I take the right day off work.

Attack of the Clones opened on a Thursday as well (as did The Matrix Reloaded).

If a film opens huge on a Wednesday, it's a guaranteed drop of 50% the next day (Thursday).

If a film opens huge on a Thursday, it'll keep it's streak throughout the weekend.

It's all about making money and looking good while doing it.

Sure it could... Now don't lose your place in line outside the Chinese Theater!

I thought a Thursday was odd as well...but the above post makes sense...
