* The 'Average Gross Sales' for 'All Studios' ($251,747) and 'Median Gross Sales' for 'All Studios' ($228,244) were extracted directly from Table 1. The 'revenue_top_quartile' is the 'Average Gross Sales' for the 'Top 25%' segment ($384,764). The 'revenue_bottom_quartile' was calculated as the average gross sales for the lowest 25% of studios (Q4). The number of units in each quartile was approximated based on the '# Exceeding Average' row denominators: Q1 (Top 25%) = 48 units, Q2 (next 25%) = 48 units, Q3 (next 25%) = 47 units, Q4 (bottom 25%) = 48 units, totaling 191 units. The average for Q4 was derived from the cumulative averages as follows: (Average Gross Sales for All Studios * Total Units - Average Gross Sales for Top 75% * Top 75% Units) / Q4 Units = ($251,747 * 191 - $285,420 * 143) / 48 = $151,429.52.
