The scatterplot above shows the relationship between the budget of movies and the World Box Office
Receipts. In the bottom left portion of the chart, the data points are close together. This indicates a
strong correlation between Budget and World Box Office receipts. On the contrary, as we move along
the X-axis, the data points are more scattered indicating a weaker correlation. It is important to note
that correlation between these variables does not necessarily mean causation. That is, the budget does
not necessarily impact the World Box Office receipts. There could be additional variables impacting the
box office receipts, other than the budget of the movie.

The above 2 pivot tables show the number of movies within each combination of genre and rating. The
first table shows the data from all top 50 movies, while the second table only shows movies that were
released post 1980. In the first table, the most represented combination of genre and rating is Animated
and G rating. In the second table, the most represented combination is Sci Fi/Fantasy and PG-13 rating.
This shows that since 1980, the preferences of movie watchers has seen a significant shift. This can be
attributed to the advent of superhero movies like Batman and Superman, and most recently the Marvel
and DC Comics franchise.
