Hollywood by the Numbers: An In-Depth Analysis of The Movie Business 1975-Present

If you’re anything like us, you get just a wee-bit excited (read: pretty damn hard) when you see awesome charts.  And if those awesome charts happen to be about Hollywood data, well then – there’s just no self containment.  Enter in analyst Horace Dediu Farshad Nayeri’s analysis of Hollywood box office trends from 1975 to the present.  He presents data on genre, time of year, scope of movie, distributor to give a full picture of how this town really functions.

It’s pretty fantastic.  There’s clearly more analysis to follow, but the numbers are there for your own pondering and use.  Happy Valentine’s Day, Hollywood.  Consider this your heart-shaped box of chocolates, courtesy of IOTG.
