Question

which factors have created box office hits

Answer 1

Answer:

factors

1. Distribution is key. In order to breakeven, a movie must make it into a large number of threads
2. Opening weekend success is important. Opening weekend performance is

already widely used in the industry to predict success. We merely confirm its validity here.

3High budget means high risk. Again, supporting industry wisdom, we find

that high budgets, while they potentially offer higher reward, are less likely to

breakeven from box office sales.

4 Quality still counts. Quality (as measured by IMDB rating) improves the

chance to breakeven.

5 Seek the season. Being a Summer or Christmas release (when there are

more moviegoers and fewer competing movies) helps.
