Original Analysis CinemaScore Analysis – 2012 Edition
Link to the other editions:
1980s: 1982 | 1986 | 1987 | 1988 | 1989
1990s: 1990 | 1991 | 1992 | 1993 | 1994 | 1995 | 1996 | 1997 | 1998 | 1999
2000s: 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009
2010s: 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019
2020s: 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023
In this post, I kept track of every 2012 movie's CinemaScore (at least, the ones that got it). I plan to post for each subsequent year until 2022, one year per weekend. My intention is to see the evolution of each year and how the grades can either help or damage a movie's legs.
I plan to delve into each year and each movie that got a grade. While CinemaScore was founded in 1979, we didn't get a grade until 1982 and we didn't get full information until 1986.
Before starting, some notes:
This list is based on multipliers/legs. In this case, domestic total/domestic opening weekend = multiplier/legs.
If a movie opens on Saturday or Sunday (like on Christmas Day), I will use its first full weekend (Friday through Sunday).
The opening weekend is based on its first wide release (600+ theaters).
If a movie never makes it past 600 theaters, then its biggest weekend number will be used.
The figures are all taken from The Numbers and Box Office Mojo.
In 2012, 127 movies received CinemaScores (2011 had 137). How did it go?
A+
2 movies (1.57%) managed to get the rare A+. Generally, this indicates exceptional word of mouth and guarantees a long and healthy run. Of course, the bigger a movie opens, the weaker legs will turn out to be. These movies averaged a 5.00x multiplier. In comparison, 2011 had 4 movies with a 4.56x average multiplier.

A
24 movies (18.89%) managed to get the grade. A step down from the rare A+, but it still indicates strong word of mouth. These movies averaged a 4.49x multiplier. In comparison, 2011 had 17 movies with a 4.43x average multiplier.

B+
18 movies (14.17%) managed to get the grade. This is where things get interesting. Generally, it indicates average word of mouth. The audience didn't love it, but didn't hate it. For some niche movies, this should be a fine score. But for IP-driven movies, this should be concerning as fans are more biased to the movie itself. These movies averaged a 2.91x multiplier. In comparison, 2011 had 29 movies with a 3.37x average multiplier.

12 movies (9.44%) managed to get the grade. This is where generally horror movies get their ratings. For non-horror movies tho, you better hope it has a compelling premise or it will heavily drop. These movies averaged a 2.45x multiplier. In comparison, 2011 had 13 movies with a 2.83x average multiplier.
