Dataset for analysis and Conclusions • The historical dataset of titles includes core tracking

Dataset for analysis and Conclusions • The historical dataset of titles includes core tracking measures for 722 movies. – Opened between January 2008 – Dec 2012 – Wednesday and Sunday Multi-mode data (75%/25%) – Seven windows per title • Unaided Awareness and First Choice are the tracking measures that best predict box office, and their predictiveness increases closer to release. • Total Awareness and First Choice tend to increase steadily throughout tracking. Unaided Awareness tends to increase slowly at first and more sharply in the final week of tracking. Definite Interest is the flattest of the four measures during tracking. • Growth patterns in tracking data look similar for different genres, seasons, and demo groups. However the absolute median scores for these can differ significantly. NRG Confidential & Proprietary Copyright © 2012 The Nielsen Company

Tracking Correlation to Box Office • Tracking measures are highly correlated to opening weekend

Tracking Correlation to Box Office • Tracking measures are highly correlated to opening weekend box office. - Particularly Unaided Awareness and First Choice - Unaided and First Choice become more correlated with box office at the final tracking window - Total Awareness has a non-linear relationship with box office, so its correlation is misleading (its non-linear predictiveness of box office increases from opening to final tracking) NRG Confidential & Proprietary Copyright © 2012 The Nielsen Company
