out promoting her show  while walking on the beach, the paper says Sunday, August 1st.  Later, the publicity that Hoops creates promoting the show says the  show is on Sunday, July 6th (visible when Ted removes the paper from  the arrow his dad shoots towards him with the crossbow). The only  time August 1st fell on a Sunday in the 80s was 1982, but July 6th  did in fact fall on a Sunday in 1986, the year the movie was  released.
