    I am sorry, but your Box Office chart is very difficult to understand. Can you please mark the Headings more clearly? They are all so confusing. For example, what is “Cume”? Can you explain the following more clearly..

    No Problem Eros .20 (2,400) 84 0.2

    What do you mean by .20 gross and (2,400) average? What is 0.2? What are these figures? Are your figures in dollars or rupees? In millions or crores or what?

    I’m sorry but the chart is so damn confusing!

  2. joshua black says:

    this chart is really quite easy to follow, cume means cumulative. figures are in dollars because this is a north american site. .20 means 200,000 because figures are in the millions, (2400) means $2400 per theatre on average as in if you divide 200,000 by the number of theatres, 84, then each theatre brought in 2400 on average, which is just so-so. The final figure, .2 is the same as 0.2 as in millions and is the cume total for that film, these figures are the same because it is the debut weekend. I would say, im your defense, it doesn’t make sense for them to use 0.2 on one occasion and then .2 the next, although both are correct, the general rule in math is to use one or the other and not both in the same report.

  3. joshua black says:

    in addition, it is, on the other hand, annoying that clicking “read the full article” just brings you to the chart, rather than displaying the analysis of the box office report as written in article format ahead of the chart itself. c’mon MCN that is shoddy.
