CLAREMONT McKENNA COLLEGE FILM REVIEW AGGREGATORS AND THEIR EFFECT ON SUSTAINED BOX OFFICE PERFORMANCE SUBMITTED TO PROFESSOR DARREN FILSON AND DEAN GREGORY HESS BY NICHOLAS KRISHNAMURTHY FOR SENIOR THESIS FALL / 2011 November 28, 2011 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my parents for their constant support of my academic and career endeavors, my brother for his advice throughout college, and my friends for always helping to keep things in perspective. I would also like to thank Professor Filson for his help and support during the development and execution of this thesis. Abstract This thesis will discuss the emerging influence of film review aggregators and their effect on the changing landscape for reviews in the film industry. Specifically, this study will look at the top 150 domestic grossing films of 2010 to empirically study the effects of two specific review aggregators. A time-delayed approach to regression analysis is used to measure the influencing effects of these aggregators in the long run. Subsequently, other factors crucial to predicting film success are also analyzed in the context of sustained earnings.

RAMONA by Laurie Craig Based on the Series of Books by Beverly
RAMONA by Laurie Craig Based on the series of books by Beverly Cleary Current Revisions by Elizabeth Allen & Nick Pustay November 4, 2007 EXT. PLAYGROUND - GLENWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - DAY WHITE PUFFY CLOUDS in the sky, reflected on the surface of a PUDDLE. Suddenly, a SNEAKER splashes right through it -- As RAMONA QUIMBY tears through the playground, running wild and loving it. She’s a 10 year-old girl with straight brown hair, an upturned nose, and a spunky imagination. Her friend HOWIE KEMP, 10, tries to keep up -- but that’s no easy task. RAMONA Howie! Let’s make ourselves sick! SPINNING ON THE ROUND-ABOUT -- where she and Howie LAUGH and spin at a breakneck speed. They make themselves so dizzy they can’t even walk straight afterwards, stumbling like happy drunks. Ramona’s eyes cross, totally dizzy... And FROM RAMONA’S POV: A blurry double-vision. Howie laughs at her -- then appears to split into two Howies. RAMONA (CONT'D) Whoa, Howie...who’s your friend? CROSSING THE MONKEY RINGS -- as Ramona struggles to propel herself forward, one metal ring at a time. Howie waits on the far side of the rings, encouraging her to keep going. HOWIE You can do it, Ramona! Just don’t look down! And of course, hearing this makes her want to look so badly. She bites her lip trying not to. Then, peeks with one eye -- FROM RAMONA’S POV: Her sneakers dangle over a DEEP CANYON! Certain death if she drops. A BUZZARD flies up at her, pecks at her UNTIED SHOELACES with his sharp beak.

A Party at the Quimbys’ 6. Beezus’s Birthday About the Author Other Books by Beverly Cleary Credits Copyright About the Publisher 1 Beezus and Her Little Sister Beatrice Quimby’s biggest problem was her little sister Ramona. Beatrice, or Beezus (as everyone called her, because that was what Ramona had called her when she first learned to talk), knew other nine-year-old girls who had little sisters who went to nursery school, but she did not know anyone with a little sister like Ramona. Beezus felt that the biggest trouble with four-year-old Ramona was that she was just plain exasperating. If Ramona drank lemonade through a straw, she blew into the straw as hard as she could to see what would happen. If she played with her finger paints in the front yard, she wiped her hands on the neighbors’ cat. That was the exasperating sort of thing Ramona did. And then there was the way she behaved about her favorite book. It all began one afternoon after school when Beezus was sitting in her father’s big chair embroidering a laughing teakettle on a pot holder for one of her aunts for Christmas. She was trying to embroider this one neatly, because she planned to give it to Aunt Beatrice, who was Mother’s younger sister and Beezus’s most special aunt. With gray thread Beezus carefully outlined the steam coming from the teakettle’s spout and thought about her pretty young aunt, who was always so gay and so understanding.
