Some big movies get released on Wednesday here in the States. Friday is not an ironclad rule.

That's done to capitalise on the opening weekend. At least where movies are concerned, releasing your movie on a Wednesday counts towards the amount of profits made on the opening weekend (despite Wednesday obviously not being part of the weekend. It's some sort of weird loophole thingy.)
