RATING

WHY RATING There is a significant main effect of rating on a film’s domestic gross. PG-13 rated films are the highest grossing rating earning million on average, this may be due to the wide reaching audience, children can still see the film because there is a limit on inappropriate content, while it can appeal to adults with action and complex well developed characters.

BUDGET 200 million will be the budget for Frozen Entanglement. This budget may seem high, but the budget for Frozen was 150 million, while Tangled was 260 million. For a full length animated film this budget is realistic and necessary to produce a high quality film.

WHY THIS BUDGET? There is a strong positive correlation between a film’s budget and a film’s domestic gross. The higher the budget the higher grossing a film is, this could be due to the high quality a higher budget can provide.

RELEASE DATE Thursday, December 1, 2016 will be the release date of Frozen Entanglement. We are going to capitalize on the holiday spirit, as well as the school and work breaks in December for high movie sales. There are also excellent merchandising opportunities in the month of December as people are buying gifts for the holidays

WHY RELEASE DATE? We chose to release Frozen Entanglement because Frozen was released during the holidays and grossed over 400 million. There may not be a significant main effect of release month on domestic gross, December releases earn on average million. If we had a larger data sample we may have higher significance.

WHAT WILL THIS FILM GROSS? We did a regression equation to predict what Frozen Entanglement will gross domestically. y= x x x x4 Y= Domestic gross x1= Film budget x2= Film genre x3= Month of release x4= Film’s content Rating Frozen Entanglement Film budget= 200 mil Film genre= 1 (Action) Month of release= 12 Film’s content rating = 3 (PG-13) Using these predicting factors Frozen Entanglement will earn at least million domestically.
