HSX Forum

Playing & Trading Strategy

Expanding to include world-wide box office has been suggested regularly for some time.

Posted by: DTravel on Jan 05, 14:23 in response to 1Ed's post here is my point...

There are problems with the idea though.  Movies don't open in all countries on the same day, so what opening date do we use to calculate delist?  And what determines Wide vs. Limited releases?  Exchange rates.  As socby mentioned, overseas BO is not as reliable nor as reliably reported.  There are others.

The result is that any fake money stock exchange game based on world-wide box office would be a very different one than HSX.
