Of the ones that passed, there are now nine C+s instead of four, six B-s instead of four, and a relatively impressive eight B's instead of three. There's even a B+ now.
As for the decade breakdown, I did double the output from the 1920s, from one to two, while there were no additional movies from the '30s (still at six). The '40s more than doubled, going from two to five. The '50s continued to outdo the previous decades, but not as dramatically, rising from 11 to 17. The '60s more than doubled, from four to nine, while the '70s more than tripled, from two to seven. The '80s and '90s both nearly doubled, from 11 to 21 and from 16 to 31 respectively. The 2000 more than doubled, from 27 to 57. The 2010s rose from 20 to 45. I'm surprised things were this consistent, but I think the proportions will still skew over time.
Action movies weren't quite as dominant, now 23 rather than 17. There are now 37 comedies rather than 17, and 39 dramas rather than 25, not counting "dramedy," etc., like the 38 "historical dramas."
Warner Brothers remains the dominant studio, with 24 contributions, although as I said before, it's harder to classify in the modern era. The number of movies based on books is another stat that has roughly doubled, from 19 to 41, so still about one-fifth of the total.
I don't have any predictions for the next hundred, other than I don't know if I'll get past the letter B. Probably, but not too far.
