Investigating the Prospects of Producing a New Movie: A Case Study

Abstract

This correspondence presents an investigation case study looking onto the prospects of producing a new
movie from the insights gained by analyzing the data available at the Internet Movie Database (IMDb).The
global entertainment industry is a huge enterprise that produces and releases quite a large number of movies
(spanning all genres) every single year, since its inception. The rate of number of movies being launched is
increasing at an exponential rate, which makes the success rate of each movie, a worth considering factor
while producing, or even before the production starts. Considering the amount of resources being utilized for
production of each movie, including fiscal, human, infrastructural, etc., the presented case study will highlight
the relationship between different parameters associated with the movies on its success at the box-office.
Moreover, the data analytics presented in this correspondence provides a better approach to gain some
intelligence before starting a new project/ movie.
