You now have greater control over when your box office reporting weeks begin — both at the studio level and per movie.


🛠 What’s New?

1. Set Your Weekly Start Day

  • In Studio Settings, choose which day of the week your box office week begins (e.g. Saturday, Monday, etc.).

  • Each reporting week runs for 7 days from your selected start day (e.g. Saturday–Friday).

2. Premiere Flexibility

  • Optionally extend your first box office week by up to 2 days, to cover early premieres.

    • Example: If your movie premieres on a Thursday, but your week starts on Saturday, the first reporting week will stretch from Thursday to Friday.

3. Per-Movie Overrides

  • You can also override the week start setting on individual movies, giving you even more flexibility.


🔒 Safe By Default

  • Changes only apply to new movies.

  • Existing movies and reports won’t be affected, to avoid disrupting previously submitted data.

  • If no reports have been sent yet for a movie, updating the week start date will regenerate box office reports to reflect the new settings.

  • For movies with existing reports already sent or due:

    • Changes won’t auto-apply to avoid conflicts with downstream reporting.

    • You can manually adjust those report dates if needed.


📍Where to Find It

  • Studio-level setting:
    Go to the Studio → Settings → Box Office Week Start Day

  • Per-movie setting:
    Go to the Movie → Settings → Box Office Week Start Override


✅ Why This Matters

This update gives you:

  • More accurate reporting aligned with your local box office standards.

  • Flexibility for handling early premieres.

  • Safer, clearer data handling across your organisation.
