Economics 101 Elasticity

Posted by: coogan on Apr 15, 16:39 in response to PVL Admin's post You really shouldn't inhale.

"So what if the whole market (top 10) needs to improve by 40%"                                                                                                " They are not restricted to their earning potential because the top 10 won't draw a 40% increase."                                         Market elasticity  my friend. The market cant increase by 40 percent for no reason. Granted two new movies are opening but then why cant the market rise by a 1000 percent.

I would submit that the "anger and foul language" will continue on regardless of how the movies rank. HSX is split so 50% mad either way. {nm} PVL Admin Apr 15, 16:20

The market can and has risen by 100+% weekend to weekend in the past. {nm} BionicMoron Apr 15, 16:52

Rarely coogan Apr 15, 17:14

Sure, so your arguement has to do with the relative weakness of RIO/Scream 4 BionicMoron Apr 15, 17:30

Kinda like the most Tweets on Monday since HPOT7 stat. :) At some point, the actual box offfice is more representative than the tweets. {nm} Antibody Apr 15, 16:26

Agreed. Everything has its place and time. Hey, I'm even going against my own prediction charts this week. {nm} PVL Admin Apr 15, 16:31

Here is the comparison we were wanting. At least someone can get their numbers straight. winstonman78 Apr 15, 15:34

Maybe a good sign?? In 17 mins since this post its gotten about 1500 more tweets {nm} winstonman78 Apr 15, 15:48

Doesn't matter... actual box office I've seen has RIO doing twice as well as SCRM4 secretstalker Apr 15, 16:22
