The goal of the project is to get familiarize with the process of (a) collecting and (b) organizing both quantitative and qualitative data by means of visually relevant graphic statistical tools (tables, graphs, charts, etc.) in order to facilitate a primarily descriptive statistical analysis of the "blockbuster" phenomenon within the US-based Film Industry.
If properly done, the study will enable you to better understand how the Big Studios leverage their risk factor to ensure financial success of their entertainment product, and hence increase their understanding of the interaction between economic and artistic factors in the world of business entertainment.
The methodology and tools acquired while completing this project could then be used to replicate similar studies in other entertainment related fields such as e-games, music, TV shows, mobile apps, etc.
