[OC] Movies That Divide Critics and Audiences (Movies that made more than $200 million at the box office)

Interesting analysis, it might make sense to use bubble charts with the size of the bubble equal to the BO. Did you try fitting a regression model to it and what was the R2 or chi2?
This is difficult to interpret…
I feel as though this should be more of a difference for each movie and their profitability rather than box office total.
1. you need to add the identity line. Movies that are far away from this line are the ones that divide critics and public. In fact, this should be your data, this difference, and not just tomatometer/audience score.
2. box office is not a great number as stated in another comment, profitability is much better. Should also account for inflation, but profitability is not impacted by that.
I like thst you used Gross Revenues instead of some level of profit. Because bringing in $200M is no small task and youre in a pretty elite club if you do.
People really get hung up on “*Will it be a BO-Bomb or won’t it*” more than ever and that seems to have an impact on the perception of if a movie is fun to watch or not. Even before a movie is released people are noting the budget and if a movie will get it’s money back. It’s a sunk cost at that point. As long as you’re making you’re advertising budget back, it’s not like they’re NOT going to promote and release it…
I’d remove dots that have no labels, they are quite pointless and just make the graph less clear. Like, what do we get from representing a lot of unlabeled movies in 90/90 score? Or which dot is Batman vs Superman?
Cool idea but far from beautiful….
Sometimes, I am the audience. Last Jedi was crap.
Sometimes, I am a critic. Peter Jackson’s King Kong is so goddamn good.
The duality of man, sir.
Providing the contour lines (lines with the ratios) would improve. At least the 1:1 for readers to see the movies audiance or critics onver/undervalue in comparison
