Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.

  • Filmtipp Cadillac Records
    Filmtipp Cadillac Records Regie und Buch Darnell Martin Darsteller/innen Adrien Brody, Jeffrey Wright, Beyoncé Knowles, Columbus Short, Mos Def, Cedric the Entertainer, Eamonn Walker u. a. Land, Jahr USA, 2009 Länge, Format 109 min, 35mm, Farbe FSK ab 6 Jahre Sprachfassung deutsche Synchronfassung / Originalfassung Festivals, Preise Black Reel Awards: Best Film, Best Ensemble, Best Supporting Actor Kinostart, Verleih 23.04.2009, Sony Genre Biopic, Musikfilm Inhalt Chicago, 1950. Adrian Chess, ein junger polnischer Einwanderer, engagiert die Bluesband des unbekannten Gitarristen und Sängers Muddy Waters für sein Nachtlokal. Beeindruckt vom Talent der schwarzen Musiker finanziert Chess eine Schallplattenaufnahme, besticht im von der Rassentrennung geprägten Süden die Radio-DJs, damit sie die Songs spielen und gründet, nach ersten Erfolgen in den Charts, ein eigenes Plattenlabel. Im Laufe der nächsten 20 Jahre entwickelt sich "Chess Records" zu einem der bedeutendsten Label für schwarzen Blues, bringt Musikerlegenden wie Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry oder Etta James heraus und ebnet letztlich den Weg für den Rock 'n' Roll. Umsetzung Als biografischer Musikfilm steht "Cadillac Records" in der Tradition klassischer Biopics wie "Walk the Line", "Ray" oder "I'm not there". In losen Episoden zeichnet Regisseurin Darnell Martin den Werdegang des Plattenlabels "Chess Records" und der unter Vertrag stehenden schwarzen Musiker/innen nach, wobei der legendäre Musiker Willie Dixon (verkörpert von Cedric the Entertainer) im Voice-Over Zusammenhänge und Hintergründe erklärt. Als großes Ausstattungs- und Gefühlskino nicht immer faktentreu inszeniert, überzeugt diese Hommage an den Blues und seine Protagonisten/innen jedoch durch einen mitreißenden Soundtrack und gelungene Musikszenen, eine Kombination aus Originalaufnahmen und Neuaufnahmen der herausragenden Darsteller/innen (unter anderem Beyoncé Knowles als Etta James).

  • The Losers Pb
    WARNER BROS. PICTURES presenta in associazione con DARK CASTLE ENTERTAINMENT Una produzione WEED ROAD PICTURES (THE LOSERS) JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN ZOË SALDANA CHRIS EVANS IDRIS ELBA COLUMBUS SHORT OSCAR JAENADA e JASON PATRIC 1 Un film di azione esplosiva, tradimento e vendetta, “The Losers” racconta la storia dei membri di una unità delle Forze Speciali inviata in missione nella giungla boliviana. Ma la squadra, Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch e Cougar, scopre ben presto di essere diventata il bersaglio di un mortale intrigo, pianificato dall’interno da un nemico conosciuto solo come Max. Approfittando del fatto che si presume siano morti, gli uomini combattono strenuamente per dimostrare la propria innocenza e anche saldare il conto con Max. A loro si aggiunge la misteriosa Aisha, una bella agente con un suo piano e in grado di cavarsela egregiamente. Lavorando insieme, quando non litigano fra loro, devono riuscire a stare un passo avanti a Max, un uomo spietato, impegnato a trascinare il mondo in una nuova guerra globale ad alta tecnologia solo per il proprio profitto. Se riusciranno a bloccare Max e nello stesso tempo salvare il mondo, sarà un successo per il gruppo conosciuto come The Losers . “The Losers” è interpretato da Jeffrey Dean Morgan (“Watchmen”) nel ruolo di Clay; Zoë Saldana (“Avatar”, “Star Trek”) in quello di Aisha; Chris Evans (i film dei “Fantastici quattro”) in quello di Jensen; Idris Elba (“Obsessed”) come Roque; Columbus Short (“Stepping-Dalla strada al palcoscenico”) è Pooch; Oscar Jaenada (“Che: Parte seconda”) è Cougar; e Jason Patric (“Nella valle di Elah”) è Max. Sylvain White (“Stepping-Dalla strada al palcoscenico”) dirige il film da una sceneggiatura di Peter Berg e James Vanderbilt, basata sulla serie di fumetti scritti da Andy Diggle, illustrati da Jock e pubblicati da DC Comics/Vertigo.
