Chuffed to have been shortlisted for the latest Information is Beautiful Awards data challenge

Over the weekend I watched The Grand Budapest Hotel with my husband. As we watched he was looking at some of the information available on Wes Anderson's films, and shared with me some of the data that he's noticed that I've been playing around with lately - box office, budgets, etc.
I was quite surprised, as Anderson's films haven't been as financially successful as I imagined. Given the buzz around a film like Bottle Rocket, I had assumed (wrongly) that this was a movie made on an oily-rag, yet made a lot of cash at the box office. BUT It's budget was $9M and it only took $560K worldwide. It did get a very respectable 85 RT score though. When you look at the profitability of his films, 3 of them haven't broken even.
I was a little taken aback by the "hard data". I love his films - even The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I love the layers, his details, the scripts, the cast...
Anyhow! Here you go - slowly making my way through a list of directors I want to do. Next I'd like to look at actors that he has collaborated with on more than one film. Watch this space!
(and I have A LOT of catching up to do regarding 30 days and thirty things! But my son is back at school, so I have a lot more time to work on this!)
(Note: I posted this originally yesterday, but an eagle eyed buddy noted the data looked weird for some of the films, and it looked weird because it was weird ... AKA wrong. So I have fixed this up and replaced the image)
Not a day goes by in our house that Star Wars is not referenced in some way. My five year old son has become obsessed with it, via Lego Star Wars. A few months ago we watched the original trilogy with him. It had been some time since I watched it. It has stood the test of time well.
So what can we learn from this image?
Star Wars (later be renamed as New Hope) was the most profitable.
Most critically acclaimed was The Empire Strikes Back. Most critical panning was The Phantom Menace. I'm in 100% agreement. I was bitterly disappointed as well.
Biggest production cost is a tie between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones - both costing $115M USD. I was curious about the cost of A New Hope. It cost $11M USD to produce, and to me that feels like a lot of money - even for back then, (but I guess in context 2001: A Space Odyssey cost $12M USD in 1968). Looking at a few different then to now currency calculations, the cost of production would be approx $33 - 42M today, so not a cheap "breakout" film, but still cheaper compared to the last trilogy that was released. The latest installment, The Force Awakens is reported to have a production budget of $200M USD.
I have to say, after watching the trailer I am a little bit excited about that coming out in twelve months time.
(This is the first of my "30 days, 30 things" project to get the new year off with a bang! I am a bit fuzzy headed post NYE, so this was a nice and easy little exercise to get me into the swing of things...)
