Since most people only pay to see a film once in the theater, and pre-opening hype is geared to getting people to want to go see a movie as soon as it opens, any given film will do one quarter to one half of its total business over its opening weekend. Few films have "legs", or stay in the theaters for weeks on end, so, for many films, especially summer blockbusters, a strong or weak opening weekend determines whether the film will be a financial success.

Gone with the Wind. In 1939, "Gone with the Wind" made $945,000 it's first weekend. Even though it was released in 1939, those were advanced ticket road show events. It was not put into wide release until 1941. I believe "Spider-Man" (2002) was the first to gross $100 million on opening weekend.
