Original Analysis CinemaScore Analysis – 2018 Edition

1980s: 1982 | 1986 | 1987 | 1988 | 1989
1990s: 1990 | 1991 | 1992 | 1993 | 1994 | 1995 | 1996 | 1997 | 1998 | 1999

In this post, I kept track of every 2018 movie's CinemaScore (at least, the ones that got it). I plan to post for each subsequent year, 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 2018, 136 movies received CinemaScores (2017 had 129). How did it go?
A+
7 movies (5.14%) managed to get the rare A+, tying 2019 for the best year with this rating. 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 5.70x multiplier. In comparison, 2017 had 5 movies with a 3.77x average multiplier.

A
24 movies (17.64%) managed to get the grade. A step down from the rare A+, but it still indicates strong word of mouth. These movies averaged a 3.52x multiplier. In comparison, 2017 had 25 movies with a 5.02x average multiplier.

A–
28 movies (20.58%) managed to get the grade. Generally, word of mouth will be good and indicates audiences like the movie, their expectations were met and nothing more. These movies averaged a 3.60x multiplier. In comparison, 2017 had 30 movies with a 3.67x average multiplier.

B+
30 movies (22.05%) 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, 2017 had 21 movies with a 2.91x average multiplier.
