­Hi
According to me it's 1 for greatest and 0 for lowest because of the following
it says lower ranking indicates greatest ticket sales
you just have to see who's on the top amongst the 4  to know who has the greatest sale in a particular week
you can see movie O has never been on top unlike others
So Movie o never had the greatst ticket sales among the 4 movies.

​​​​​​​similarly for lowest, we see the highest ranking of each week and from that I could infer that everyone has at least one week where it was the lowest (highly ranked amongst the four)..


can someone explain please?

One has to be very clear about the wordings. 
The most important words that can easily be missed out are 'For each of the weeks that all 4 movies were shown in theaters,'.

So look for only these weeks when all four were being shown.

Starting of that period: 3rd week when Movie M also comes on the screen.
Ending of that period: 18th week, next week of which is when Movie O is no longer shown.

Check for the lowest of all four movies each week...Movie O is lowest only in second week but only 3 movies were being shown then.
1 is the answer

Check for the highest of all four movies each week...Again Movie O is never the highest.
1 is the answer
