The objective of the project is to predict a movie's gross revenue based on historical pubilc information about the movie.

As a cinephile, I was deeply impressed by this project, especially, the way of acquiring the data using APIs and scraping data from website. Wonderful technique! Moreover, the data visualization is clear and self-explanatory.

A potentially interesting feature could be search frequency or number social media mentions of the movie, since that might be a better indicator of popularity than reviews. I'm not sure if using IMDB ratings and other success metrics to do so is as cutting-edge. For audience, they may prefer to predict box office success based on the cast list, certain actresses, and scriptwriter. FYI, there may be some other feasible standard to choose.
