Movies

Don't know of a site that gives multipliers for movies, I usually have to do the math & research.

Posted by: Decoman on May 09, 13:04 in response to Jacito's post Multiplier

Divide the total box office by the opening number to get the mulitplier (e.g. $200 million final / $50 million opening = 4.0 multiplier). To guesstimate what a movie's multiplier will end up being requires asking a lot of questions:

What are the average, high-end, and low-end multipliers for similar movies?

Is there a pattern for movies released at the particular time of year/on a particular holiday/etc.?

Do the actors, actresses, or director have a multiplier pattern for previous movies?

Does the particular studio's previous movies have a multiplier pattern? (Look at Marvel, Disney live action, etc.)

Other contributing factors: the quality of the movie, awards season buzz, word-of-mouth, release patterns, and so on and so forth.

My best suggestion? Research, research, research. Go to Box Office Mojo and The Numbers and Kaigee's site (among dozens of other similar sites) and contrast and compare movies. Their performances, their histories. If you find a site that lists movies by opening multipliers, please let me know because I haven't found that just yet. Hope this helps.
