: : : : "THE CHECK-UP" : : : :
" The Check-Up " is a presentation in the briefest and most convenient form of reports received from exhibitors in every part of the country on current features, which makes it possible for the exhibitor to see what the picture has done for other theatre managers.
The first column following the name of the feature represents the number of managers that have reported the picture as " Poor." The second column gives the number who considered it " Fair " ; the third column, the number who considered it " Average " ; the fourth, the number who considered it " Good " ; and the fifth column, those who considered it " Big."
The last column is a percentage figure giving the average rating on that feature, obtained by the following method : A report of " Poor " is rated at 20% ; one of " Fair," 40% ; " Average," 50% ; Good," 70% ; and " Big," 100%. The percentage ratings of all of these reports on one picture are then added together, and divided by the number of reports, giving the average percentage — a figure which represents the consensus of opinion on that picture. In this way exceptional cases, reports which might be misleading taken alone, and such individual differences of opinion are averaged up and eliminated.
No picture is included in the list which has not received at least ten reports.
