I think it depends on how quick they go to home media. There aren’t many movies these days that I have to absolutely see right away and can’t wait for a home release that’s not a rental, so the time spent in the theater has no relevance to me. I also go to small mom and pop theaters that charge $5-$6 per ticket even with day one releases. I can’t remember the last movie I saw in theaters that was an opening weekend except the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, and that doesn’t count.
Edit: I just looked it up. I’m pretty sure TMNT: Mutant Mayhem was the last movie I saw in theaters besides TPM 25, and it was opening weekend.
