πŸŽ–οΈπŸŽ–οΈπŸ†

It is natural for the popular ranking to be higher, due to the influx of art house, international and straight to video releases. Popular rankings are taken from IMDb and are fluid. Most box office data are taken from The Numbers website (domestic).

Where’s Air?

The theme of "Pop vs Box" is how a film gains or loses popularity over time compared to its original box office showing and other films released for that year.

A film has to "age" for the theme to retain its meaning.

2013 year should be finished this fall.
