Can someone who HSXs help me out? I do NOT understand the movie multipliers any more.

Posted by colin (aka colinski) Aug 8 '19, 09:50

I know there's no longer multipliers, but I can't tell any more what's supposed to happen. I also feel like every Monday, the opening movies all tank regardless as people unload. I'm just struggling here.. used to be able to look at BO, make a decision, be fine, now I'm just yoyoing back and forth.

They don't adjust so basically you're just buying to the first 4 weekends. Use a rough 2.7 of the opening and see where it sits. - Will Hunting Aug 8, 09:52 9
- yeah, the non-adjust is... weird. i occasionally see multiplier discussions. thanks. -- nm - colin Aug 8, 09:55
- More or less. Also, sometimes the Movies board will have discussions about projections. Roger More is the man for this. -- nm - Shaun Aug 8, 09:54 7
  - I think a lot of the recent Monday drop is things are just tanking...there's little guesswork when a movie is 3x as high as it's opening. - Will Hunting Aug 8, 09:55 6
    - No adjusts means that lots of people aren't playing on the weekend. -- nm - Roger More Aug 8, 10:15
    - movies don't seem to be as leggy as they used to, esp kids films. -- nm - colin Aug 8, 10:00 4
      - There are very very few post-OW longs these days. -- nm - Shaun Aug 8, 10:04
      - They aren't. HSX started at 2.9 and dropped to 2.7 over the years and even that is likely too high. - Will Hunting Aug 8, 10:04 2
        
        Even the MCU stuff is ~2.3, on average, if I recall a discussion from back when Endgame was in theatres. - Shaun Aug 8, 10:06 1
        
        Sounds about right. Overall, they average 2.75x opening weekend (370mil total vs 135mil open) - Will Hunting Aug 8, 10:10
