Movies

 

                    The Article we read "Cinemath: Good Movies Do Better at the Box Office; Also Helps to Be Expensive, PG-13, and a Sequel" was about the study between a movies popularity, and the connections between ratings given to the movies, and if the movie was well known before its initial release. Such as if it was a sequel to a well-known movie (The Harry Potter's, and transformers). Additional they mention how the budget released to public eye or not affected the overall popularity of the movie. Overall I found this article interesting to read mostly because it was about movies, and why some are more successful than others. I thought that It was really interesting to see why some achieved success while others did not. Some things I thought the author did well while discussing the topic was explain how he used his information to form his research and scatter plot graph.  This article relates to what we are learning about right now in stats class because, currently we have just began to discuss scatter plots and the characteristics of them such as if they have a strong or weak correlation or are negative or positive. Things that we have not yet discussed that the article is we haven’t discussed the R2 in much depth. Also we haven’t talked about the equation to find gross of something, such as movie profit over a period of time. A movie that he didn’t include in his graph was the Hunger Games, I predict based on his graph that he has created that its revenue at the box office would be on the high end of the graph, because it was a well-known book, causing people to want to see it in movie form, and it was P-13 which according to the author was a way to drawn in all audiences. A movie that I predict will show a similar successful pattern is Breaking Dawn Part 2, because of some of the main reasons as the other successful movie francizes he described in his findings.
