You assume everyone sees the movie the day it's released? Elsewhere on the site they explain there's always about five days' lag from a news event (which, unlike a movie, has an effect on people's perceptions all at once) and the news release of the pollsters. Plus, the EV tally reflects the website's own tally, which would be a day or so later than the release of the poll result. Bottom line: expect a lag. Such as the convention.
The missing EVs are likely due to straight-up ties, which are white on the map but probably don't go into the total on the graph.
