Good discussions...

1. Sometime back we discussed in detail how Avg per screen cannot give clear picture when comparing two movies released with different set of screens... Avg per day wont work either when festive and solo release come into pic. We dont have enough data to make all these comparisons.

What if Rentrak has 60 screen list and YA released in a different set. Just for an example, if a screen like Satyam is not reported where as two Mayajaal screens accounted. The gross will be less whereas the screen count is more. Earlier BM showcased with US gross numbers how a small count of screens may have huge impact on net amount.
