Explanation for a movie to have a shocking drop in the box office returns after one day in theaters. It used to be that it took a full week for word to get out on a film's poor quality, but with social networks now people seeing a film on its opening night can report instantly on the prospects of the title.
First seen with the comedy "Bruno", which had an impressive opening night, but then experience a drop of a stunning 39% on its second day of release. It was explained that word-of-mouth was happening instantly nowadays to explain the stunning loss of audiences. Recently seen with "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World", which had a heavy 25% drop on its second day in release.
The movie opened with an impressive Friday box office and was poised for a successful weekend, but then The Twitter Effect kicked in on Saturday and it is now looking like it could be a bomb.

The Twitter Effect is an effect of spending time on the named app. Symptoms often include getting upset over mundane topics, or attempting to accuse someone of being ableist. It is highly infectious.
The Twitter Effect:
"the fact that there are people in COLLEGE still spelling definitely as defiantly. Like what do you even do about that"
"So you're ableist now?"
"Sure whatever"
