Factors in determining "adjusted gross" No one yet has calculated a truly precise and definite referential adjusted gross for a film, since doing so would have to take into account most (or all) of the following: Box office gross on initial release Ticket price at time of release, or its relative price to other commodities in a given year, in relation to general inflation and gross domestic product. Economic conditions that may help or hurt the entertainment industry as a whole (theaters in 2008 lowered ticket prices to attract more viewers though the average ticket cost $7.00) Population at time of release—to be used to calculate: Availability of films (number of theaters and screens, number of prints) Competition of other media (television, internet, home video, film piracy) Total number of films in the marketplace at a given time Screen quotas (no influence on U.S. box office) Price differences: matinee and evening tickets, roadshow tickets, or difference between rural and urban cinemas Length of release (number of weeks)
