I came up with the \\\"SBIH threshold\\\" because of how the school grading system works: anything less than 60% is an F. Since 0%-59% is such a wide range, I decided to separate the typical \\\"bad\\\" from \\\"So Bad, It\\\'s Horrible\\\", so I used 33.3% as the number that would separate such works from each other (any work below it would be in the SBIH threshold whilst any work above it would not be in that threshold) since 33.3% is one-third of 100%.

Here are other factors that would make a film SBIH aside from lying in the SBIH threshold.
* The film was NotScreenedForCritics. If it was screened for critics, then the critics would point out that it sucks and people wouldn\\\'t watch it. This is most evident with \\\'\\\'Film/TheDevilInside\\\'\\\', which wasn\\\'t screened for critics, with the end result being that it became a box-office success but was universally panned by both moviegoers and critics alike. Had the film be screened for critics, then it would flop. With that being said, even if the film did break even its budget (whether or not it was screened for critics), if it\\\'s still universally panned by both moviegoers and critics alike, then it still counts (as shown with \\\'\\\'Jack & Jill\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'Movie 43\\\'\\\').
* The film has numerous awards/nominations from the Golden Raspberry Awards.
* The film\\\'s negative reception either:
** 1) caused the would-be series to become a StillbornFranchise (if sequels were planned)
** 2) served as a FranchiseKiller for the film\\\'s respective series and/or even even served a GenreKiller as well
** 3) caused no only what was described in #2, but caused the film\\\'s franchise to become DeaderThanDisco as well
* The film ranks among the worst films of the film\\\'s respective year, and even moreso if the film ranks among the worst films of the decade.
