Dependencies

Make sure to have Pandas, NumPy, and PySpark installed before running any of these

To get started, you will need these datasets from the movies folder in the cluster:

• wikidata-readable that is generated from build_useful_movies.py
• label_map
• rotten-tomatoes.json.gz

Important Files

• build_useful_movies.py
• correlations.py
• analyze.py
• profitable_time.py

build_useful_movies.py

run command: spark-submit build_useful_movies.py wikidata-movies label_map output

Cleans the data output from build_wikidata_movies.py and maps all wikidata ids to its respective labels in label_map

outputs: movies-readable.json.gz

correlations.py

run command: python3 correlations.py

Loads movies-readable.json.gz and rotten-tomatoes.json.gz into the program, and outputs the correlations of specific columns in the dataset into the terminal using a bunch of print statements. Summary of the results can be found in the Project Summary

analyze.py

run command: python3 analyze.py

Loads movies-readable.json.gz and rotten-tomatoes.json.gz into the program again, and takes a deeper look into the data. Mainly focused on cast_member, director, and made_profit. Outputs four graphs that gives insight on movie profit and ratings.

outputs:

• top_directors.png
• top_actors.png
• directors_sd.png
• actors_sd.png

profitable_time.py

run command: python3 profitable_time.py

Loads movies-readable.json.gz and rotten-tomatoes.json.gz, and groups the movies/works that made profit by publication month. Outputs a histogram on what publication month had the most movies that made profit.

output: month-profit-count.png

Note that both movies-readable.json.gz and rotten-tomatoes.json.gz should be in the same folder as the Python programs above
