‘Tis the Season for Movies (and Data)!
As we approach the peak of holiday movie season, we’re curious to see which of this year’s films will be break-out hits. With the help of our new reputation monitoring service, we can use bitly data to see which movies people are talking about, as these conversations unfold. By entering relevant search terms (in this case: the titles of the films themselves, and other keywords such as “movie” or the names of the films’ actors) we can discover trending content around holiday films in real-time, and the sentiment associated with that content.
We’re collecting data about every film being released at the end of the year, so the list is more expansive than your normal ‘Top 10 Holiday Movies of the Year.’ We’re hoping as you watch the ebb and flow of these graphs over the next few weeks that our data will help you predict which movies will be box office hits. Share your predictions in the comments below, and stay tuned for a post by our data science team about what movies are in the lead.
