Actually I think it's always been when the lounge is closed in the T&Cs or there isn't a lounge, not just weekends. We'd have to find the announcement/T&Cs from a few years ago.
Found it:
"Starting June 22, 2013 in the US & Canada, Gold, Platinum & Platinum Premier elites will receive continental breakfast daily in the executive lounge.
For each day (not stay) the lounge is closed, these members will have the option of breakfast for 2 in the Restaurant or 750 points (1,000 points in select locations). The same applies if there is no lounge at a JW Marriott®, Autograph Collection®, Renaissance® or Marriott® Hotel.
In Europe, hotels without a lounge offer a choice of breakfast for two in the restaurant or 750 points daily (change as of July 2014)"
Cheers.
