Behind the Screens: Analyzing How Budget, Genres, and Ratings Influence Movie Success (2000–2017)

What role do budget levels, genres, and audience ratings play in determining the financial success of movies released between 2000 and 2017?

The dataset I have used it contains information about movies released between 2000 and 2017. It includes key variables that help analyze factors such as budget levels, revenues, and audience preferences. By combining these variables, I tried to the analyze how different factors impact a movie’s success.

The tree map displays the popularity of different movie genres based on their overall contribution to box office success. Genres like Action, Adventure, and Drama dominate, this indicates that they are the most widely consumed and profitable categories. So, genre plays a crucial role in profitability.

The chart breaks down annual revenue contributions by movie genres from 2000 to 2016. Each bar represents the total box office revenue for that year, segmented by different genres. From this chart we can say that overall movie revenues have grown steadily over the years but started peaking in 2012-2014. Also Box office success has been steadily increasing over time, with a strong reliance on the Action and Adventure genres. Release timing and audience preferences for specific genres contribute to yearly variations in revenue.

This scatter plot visualizes the relationship between movie budgets and revenues. This visualization shows that movie Pirates of the Caribbean (On Stranger Tides), is the highest budget movie from year 2000 to 2017 whereas Avatar got the highest Revenue in that timeline. Also it shows that high-budget movies generally gives better results, but again profitability is not always guaranteed. Some high-budget films achieve extraordinary revenues, but surprising part is many low-budget movies remain constrained in success.

This line chart compares the vote averages for high-budget and low-budget movies over different release years. This suggests that audiences prefer high-budget movies because they have better quality as production investment is more and also maybe more enjoyable.

In the story the bubble chart categorizes movies based on budget types (High Budget, Low Budget) and revenue types (Moderate Revenue, Good Revenue). I calculated these budget type and revenue type field. here the largest bubble represents low-budget movies generating moderate revenue, that proves that these films dominate in volume but lack exceptional box office performance. High-budget movies generating moderate revenue have smaller bubbles, this indicates that they are fewer in number. But surprisingly from year 2000 t0 2017 there are only 2 movies that had low budget but got good revenue. If you move to the second part of the story, you will see the name of those 2 movies.

In conclusion, it can be said that budget size, genre selection, and audience reception are critical determinants of a movie’s financial success. High-budget productions, particularly in the Action and Adventure genres, dominate the industry, but low-budget films still offer moderate returns.
