Original Analysis CinemaScore Analysis – 2019 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 2019 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 2019, 127 movies received CinemaScores (2018 had 136). How did it go?
A+
7 movies (5.51%) managed to get the rare A+, tying 2018 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 3.89x multiplier. In comparison, 2018 had 7 movies with a 5.70x average multiplier.

B+
25 movies (19.68%) 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 2.77x multiplier. In comparison, 2018 had 30 movies with a 2.91x average multiplier.

How big Disney's 2019 was, and how much the mainstream has turned on them in the last 4 years, with almost all of their top films gradually developing a mixed reception among the public with the power of hindsight is the ultimate reminder that being on top of the world will not last forever and the world is always changing.
If the global pandemic never happened, the Disney rule would have lasted a few years longer. It was the great reset for society in all corners of life.

I think 2020 would’ve been a comedown for them just because they had more unproven originals and they were entering a new phase of Marvel movies. But I do think the pandemic definitely sped up their decline.

What a year... So many good movie and/or huge movies !
By the way, does Endgame have the worst multiplayer for a A+ Cinemascore ?
