“No one knows why a film does well or not. The reasons for this are not important. What is important is the intention you start the film with and the final state when the film releases on a Friday - whether people liked it or not.”

Meaning

This can be taken to mean that success in film is partly mysterious, so control over every outcome is an illusion. The quote shifts attention from trying to explain the box office to the filmmaker’s starting intention and the finished result, which lands in the anxious space of a Friday release, when judgment arrives quickly and publicly.
