There is something that takes all that into account.

The studio's, fast food chain's, toy maker's and other sundry industries' books.  Good luck seeing those numbers.  Smile

More seriously, there are no reliable sources for numbers on those.  Tie-ins especially.  Do you count a percentage of every happy meal sold? 

Also, most of those don't come into play until the movie stock has delisted here.  So they would only affect Starbonds and most of the movies that would heavily impacting SBs this way already max out @ $250M.  So what's the point?

Your suggestion also misses the point of the game.  It is about MOVIES in THEATRES.  All the rest is not what this game (and their value as predictive information for studios, theatre chains, etc.) is about.
