Original Analysis CinemaScore Analysis – 1996 Edition

In this post, I kept track of every 1996 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.
Despite that, there's some missing data on the number of weeks a movie spent in theaters. Some movies here stopped reporting weekend totals after just 2 weeks or even just one. Thankfully, their domestic totals are still intact so we still have their final domestic number. Just note that the amount of weeks do not fully represent the movie's run.
In 1996, 141 movies received CinemaScores (1995 had 121). How did it go?
A
15 movies (10.63%) managed to get the grade. A step down from the rare A+, but it still indicates strong word of mouth. These movies averaged a 5.51x multiplier. In comparison, 1995 had 12 movies with a 5.78x average multiplier.

B+
40 movies (28.36%) 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 4.06x multiplier. In comparison, 1995 had 26 movies with a 3.74x average multiplier.

15 movies (10.63%) 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 2.43x multiplier. In comparison, 1995 had 9 movies with a 2.99x average multiplier.
