So War for the Planet of the Apes just opened someplace?

I was totally baffled by this chart, until I realized that the column headings were messed up. If you slide "Weekend Release Cume (USD)" and "Distributor" each over one column to the right, so that "Weekend Boxoffice Estimate (USD)" covers four columns rather than three, the numbers make sense.

Yes, China.

For that, I apologize. The copy and paste function on this platform can be a bit messy sometimes when handling charts like that which has a lot of code in them.

Goodness, no need to apologize. While it may be a cut-and-pasting error, it could also be a coding glitch in the source material. I've seen way too many files over the years that looked fine on the author's monitor, but were jumbled when viewed elsewhere because some errant code was baked into the source material.

Out of curiosity, I went to the comScore website and found the chart. I notice that the CSV and EXCEL versions of the chart correctly label the second set of figures simply as "Cumulative", while the version shown on the website (and in the post above) calls the section "Weekend Cume Release". I assume those figures include all grosses to date, not just those earned on a weekend.
