A suggestiion to tweak the adjust formulas
I have long advocated the following.
The Thursday pre-opener numbers are throwing off the adjust prices.
Not all movies perform as well on Thursday pre-openers. While GFB movies do very well, adult marketed dramas and animated films not so well.
My suggestion: change the formula to be (Fri-Sun)*2.7 plus previous. That way, the pre-opener does not get multiplied, and we get back closer to the delist price. If it is a holiday weekend, 2.2 times the weekend plus previous. If a Thanksgiving movie has a pre-opener, a simillar formula.
As to Christmas, there are 3 wide movies opening this year. I would be willing to try the experiment of no .OW, .PU or .CA for that weekend since there is no formula to apply.
Want to have fun? Try 2 weekends for the derivatives. Let them halt on Christmas Eve.
BUT DO NOT THROW AWAY the regular adjusts.
Like HSX Orange, it will drive people away from the site.

Nice idea, but have the same concern as JDolphin. Then again where does Box Office MOJO get there Thurs numbers from? {nm} Sep 24, 12:57
