The elimination of the "THE" doesn't change the meaning of the sentence.

This and next refer to the same weekend / day unless it is that day / week / weekend.

Is the weekend a defined object that we are not in yet?
I'm pretty sure 99% of people refer to this weekend as the weekend coming up, and next weekend as the weekend after that.

I guess you can stick to you guns and dig in, and use urban dictionary to back you up. But more often than not, I bet you confuse the people around you by interpreting it your way.
