Very interesting read about IMDb’s 1 and 10 star ratings. If you’re an indie filmmaker I’m sure your films have been review bombed. Happens all the time.👇🏻 open.substack.com/pub/stephenfol…

The most basic film statistic of how much a movie cost is disappearing, as budgets are now missing for over 95% of recent releases.

There are nine producers on the average movie. Nine! But does all that producing power make the film any better?

A while back, David Nicholas Wilkinson asked me whether offering “With Thanks” credits to crowdfunding backers could make a film look bad. To find out, I analysed 8,096 movies to see what the data said.

Standing ovations are everywhere at festivals, but do they mean anything? I analysed the data, spoke with critics, and discussed it with @MattBelloni (@pucknews founding partner) on his awesome podcast, The Town.

Do most film festivals require premiere status? A question from @MarBelle, the Editor-in-Chief of @WeAreDN, made me curious to find out. I studied the rules of 10,549 film festivals to see how many still insist on a premiere and how many don’t.

Cinema leaders have long argued that pricing doesn’t matter, yet almost all public polls say otherwise. I looked at what the data tells us & talked with Vue's Tim Richards, who's reversed his position after realising that pricing wasn’t a side issue but the heart of the problem.

Last Friday I joined @jason_blum and the @blumhouse team in New York for an event all about how we see and discuss horror, and why our thinking needs to evolve. To prepare for the event, I took a look how what’s changing in the horror genre, and what might be yet to come.
