a: For all the meta-regressions the reference category is non-random sampling, European market, critics’ reviews, review valence, long-term BO, no control for movie awards, non-published, non-top-tier journal, and partial correlation.

b: The reference year for median year in column 1 is 2005; in columns 2 and 4: 2001; in columns 3: 2004.

c: Mean-centered continuous predictor.

d: The other artistic, market and media dimensions were collapsed into one ‘other star brand equity dimension’ dummy variable due to the small sample size.

ǂ: p <.1, *: p < .05, **: p < .01, ***: p < .001.
