Not on the same weekend, but the week after is fair game. The last three FF movies (including F7) dropped an average of 62% on their second weekends. I can't imagine F8 having a better hold.

You do make a good point about the PR movie going up the calendar if possible. I mean, look at Fox's Rise of the Apes film, which the studio originally delayed from June 24 to November 23. Then the studio moved it up to August 5th, only a month and two weeks from its original release date.

If Lionsgate follows that pattern, the PR movie would open Labor Day Weekend -- September 2, 2016. That sounds worse than a mid-January 2017 opening by comparison.
