Ever wonder about movie industry Stats? I do.

Just a interesting document I came across:

You know, if they did the stats in great enough detail, you could consider doing a "Movie Industry Fantasy Studio League" People could draft producers and directors and execs....

The detail is out there.

Interesting...though wouldn't the 'season' be a year long? Long time to play an online Fantasy studio league....

Well, online has little to do with it - the first fantasy sports leagues were happening before "online" was an adjective

As for the length of season, yes, it is longer than a sport season. But it is also a whole lot slower. Longer, but lower maintenance.

You could do it based on the movie releases which are based on the summer and holidays. I think I would make it along the lines of a 'stock' game, the players buy a percentage of both movie companies and stars.

Just like the virtual stock market games, pick an arbitary start and end date.

I'm interested, as long as it's online so I don't have to do the math on paper.

Yeah, that figure has got to be skewed by the small independent and budget theaters. Of the theaters in my area, most are priced around $9.50, with a one or two around $4.00. But these theaters play independent films and movies that have been released for 3+ months.

But then I do live in New England, where everything is overprice.

That's the thing -- everything south of Mason-Dixon is less expensive, from Gasoline to Movie tickets, and the price varies when moving from the spectrum of Urban to rural, as well.

Locally, the biggest (14-screen) multiplex we have charges about 8 bucks for an evening showing, and about $6.50 for a matinee.
