CASH-OUT PRICE

This is the price in which HSX cashes out MovieStocks and options. A MovieStock is cashed out at H$1 to $1 million equal to the movie's domestic box-office gross on the first business day after its first four weekends of wide release or after the first 12 weekends of limited release. The HSX source for box-office is Exhibitor Relations Co. If ERC does not report box-office for a film, alternate sources may be used. MovieStocks of films which are not released theatrically cash out at zero. Option cash-out prices are equal to the movie's box-office total during its first weekend of release minus the strike price.

TRAILING AVERAGE GROSS (TAG)

This term represents a star's average total box-office performance over their last five credited films by release date. Each time a MovieStock featuring a particular star cashes out from the Movie Market, the box-office gross of the film (as reported to Exhibitor Relations Co.) is calculated into the star's TAG, and the bond price is adjusted to match. A maximum of five films are used in the TAG calculation divided by a minimum of three. The TAG is updated weekly with any additional box-office gross. A film's box-office gross in the TAG is capped at $250 million. StarBonds do not adjust in price for the first film in TAG, or for films which do not report box office to ERC.

I really don't think it's looking good for KNIV2 to report box office... TheWeekendWarrior Nov 28, 20:27

It'll be like 2PT0. No ERC reports, it doesn't get added to moviestock page, but will still cashout based on BOM number. Starbonds won't. {nm} bsbbtnh Nov 28, 21:01

This is extremely confusing.Can we get a clarification from Admin please? {nm} Peter453 Nov 28, 21:22

There was a thread yesterday (link inside) where antibody says BOM has been used in the past. bsbbtnh Nov 29, 00:13

What does "may be used" mean? {nm} JHFHockey Nov 28, 22:40

Seems like the estimated figures will be used (my guess) {nm} Peter453 Nov 28, 22:48

There are alternate sources for box office already... waiting until the stock is halted before letting us know the stock's status is bogus. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 29, 05:40

And today is its last day in theaters so even if it cashes out in three weeks, we should get a definitive answer. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 29, 05:56

I'm shocked. {nm} goodvibe61 Nov 29, 10:52
