I think first weekend ticket sales are more indicative of that. If you look at the top 10, 20, or 50 grossing movies of alltime, you will see a trend in popularity and cultural impact.
They reach that height because of people continuing to go see them, and word of mouth spreading. I think that's popularity. Even if that popularity gets so large that it causes a backlash, it existed.
Something like Spiderman 3 and Transformers 2 are examples of people going to see a movie based on pre-conceptions. The huge dropoffs they experienced indicate the general dislike for the product.
