RESEARCH
www.movieweb.com– Click on “Box Office” for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly stats. What types of films seem to hold on to the top slots the longest? Who’s their target audience?

https://www.thecinemaspot.com/ – “Box Office Blockbusters” fills a similar function, profiles lists of popular genre films, interviews, and an “If I Liked/Movielens” feature that allows you to generate personalized movie recommendations.

www.imdb.com– How many times has your topic been the subject of a film? In the left-hand pull-down menu at IMDB, go to plots and type in one to three keywords. This will generate a list of how many films include that topic. The same thing works for characters.
