Three hundred movies into this project, and the success rate remains at 12%, that is getting a C+ or higher. Of those that definitely didn't make the cut, the F+s went from five to six, the D-s from 17 to 22, the D's from 29 to 40, and the D+s from 40 to 61. The C-s again almost doubled, from 53 to 90, while the C's just went from 30 to 41.
Of the ones that passed, both C+s and B-s increased to twelve, from nine and six respectively. The B's more modestly went from eight to ten, while B+s doubled, albeit from one to two.
The 1920s held steady at two, but the '30s went from six to nine. The '40s again more than doubled, this time from five to eleven. The '50s increased from 17 to 25, while the '60s went from nine to fourteen. The '70s nearly tripled, from seven to eighteen. The '80s more modestly rose from 21 to 29, while the '90s grew from 31 to 44. The 2000s still reign supreme, with 81 now instead of 57, while the 2010s increased from 45 to 67.
Warner Brothers remains the lead studio with 35, although the split between production and distribution continues to muddy the issue with modern movies. Movies based on books actually went beyond the one-fifth ration, now 73, so almost one-fourth.
I don't really have any predictions for the next one hundred movies, other than we'll get deeper into and perhaps complete the C's, and there will probably be more of the same, with surprises along the way.
