Two questions (one regarding terminology, one regarding limited releases)
I have a couple of questions. They're unrelated, but I figured I'd just throw them in one post instead of two:
1. I've seen the term "internal multiplier" thrown around a lot. Can someone explain to me what this is, how it's calculated, where you guys get them, etc (or direct me to another post or site or something where it's explained).
2. A more broad question, but what kind of strategies do you use when it comes to limited releases? I'm learning more and more about how to play the wide releases and the different kinds of information that come out about them before their release and what they mean and whatnot, but I think I'm still as clueless on limited releases as I was before I started. A wide release making 8 million on Friday in 2700 theaters means something to me now, but a limited release making 4K in 1 theater on Friday doesn't really give me any kind of idea what it's ultimately going to do because I don't have nearly as much context.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
