then in movie production? What can be done to answer this question, is making
predictions based on collected data of already produced movies. The Return on
Investment (ROI) is probably the most important factor for investors. That is
why in this case, the focus will be on the ROI; what kind of movies will provide
the highest ROI? In the end, the answer to this question, will help give investors
of movie production advice.
Methods
To start, the dataset ga1_movies.csv has to be loaded into a data frame
df_movies. To obtain ROI values from this for each movie, the Profit has to be
divided by Production Budget. Profit can be obtained by subtracting the
Production Budget from the Worldwide Gross. Now that all ROI values are
known, these values can be sorted in a descending order. This is used to count
how often each genre appears among the 30 movies with the highest ROI. This

done, to see if this indeed is higher than the mean ROI of all movies.
The movies with the highest ROI can also be researched further, to see which
other factors they have in common. For example, in which month are most of
these movies released (Release Month) and what is the duration of the movie?
All these above factors/results, can be used in the end to give investors advice
about what kind of movies to invest in. Which kind of movie will most likely
provide the highest ROI?
Results
Ordering the ROI values in a descending order, resulted in a top 30 of movies
with the highest ROI. Below can be seen, how many times each genre occurs
in this top 30. As can be seen the most profitable genre is Horror.
