Data Update 3

Chart



Unanswered Question

What is the budget for each film listed? Although this question seems relatively straightforward, I feel it would be quite interesting to compare each film's budget with their total domestic gross, especially to see if their is a disparity between a film's popularity and profitability.

For example, let's say their are two films called Movie A and Movie B. Movie A was made on $2,000,000 budget and made $4,000,000 at the box office. Movie B was made on a $30,000,000 budget and made $20,000,000 at the box office. While Movie B technically made more money than Movie A, Movie A actually made a profit.

How would you get the data?

I can think of at least three different ways to find the budget for each film. Firstly, I can simply google something along the lines of, "budget of highest grossing films from 1997-2017." Secondly, I could click on the link for each film in the original dataset and look at that film's budget. Thirdly, I could email Box Office Mojo and ask if they have a list of each film's budget.
