The goal of this project is to determine what factors or statistics are important to the success of a movie. To answer this, we analyze how different movie metrics (the lead actor, language, movie budget, etc) correlate to a movie's average IMDb rating.
Our motivation is to determine how important factors like budget are to a movie’s success, hopefully to broaden the knowledge of what really affects a movie's rating.
