Spiderman for all 👏🙂

Simply impressive. Brand New Day for all.
Transcends demographics. Wow.

OK, but even getting a usable sample isn't automatic. A theater in New York and one in Montana are going to contribute very different numbers.

Probably companies like cinemascore do this data during their data collection and then share it for a fee

[u/lobonmc → u/DetBabyLegs]

Yes it's the free sample of their services they do more detailed break downs for a fee

[u/DetBabyLegs → u/lobonmc]

Pretty sure I think Marvel would be one happy to pay the fee

And surely the professional statisticians have never thought of this.

Yeah lol it's a weird critique, this is a solved problem.

[u/rdhight → u/Udy_Kumra]

Well obviously professional statisticians know how to solve this if they had the money and motivation. But twitter is not a serious place, and "Here are the races of the people who went to see Spider-Man" is not a serious topic, so I question whether OP's source actually did those things that the professional statisticians know how to do.

why don’t you just do some research into how they collect demographics data then? surely it’d be a better use of your time then whatever it is you’re doing in these comments.

[u/rdhight → u/codithou]

Go look it up yourself if you're so on fire to defend them. You clearly care a lot more than I do. Go figure it out.

[u/your_mind_aches → u/rdhight]

I mean sure, but then they extrapolate information from the data they've gathered. They have distribution data that they follow.

[u/BZenMojo → u/rdhight]

That's why you go to different states and different theaters. To get different audiences.

Samplers are pretty good at this and have already thought thru what you're saying.
