📖 Introduction

Movies often strike a balance between critical acclaim and commercial success. This project analyzes the IMDb Top 1000 movies dataset to understand how different genres perform in terms of IMDb ratings, audience engagement, and box office revenue.

The objective is to uncover patterns that explain whether highly rated movies are also commercially successful and how genre influences this relationship.
