I got my hands on some movie data to see how much of a relationship exists between film reviews and box-office earnings.
Not that much, I discovered.
Click here to see the findings. (I didn’t embed them here because our WordPress install doesn’t play nice with Tableau).
I also wanted to see the relative popularity of movies between Quebec and the rest of the domestic Hollywood market, which includes the U.S. and Canada. turns out Quebec does have distinct tastes when if comes to major film releases.
I’m curious if a general, non-geeky audience would find this interesting. Do you think all the stat talk makes this inaccessible? Please share your thoughts.
Sources:
Metacritic data is from Needlebase. Someone had already scraped it and offered it publicly.
Box office data comes from Box Office Mojo.
Rotten Tomatoes data from Information is Beautiful, which is holding a visualization contest using Hollywood data.
Quebec box-office data from Cineac.
