Four hundred movies into this project, and the success rate holds steady at 12%, that is getting a C+ or higher. Of the bottom of the barrel, there's still only one F, but now eight F+s instead of six, 32 D-s instead of only 22, 50 D's rather than 40, and 82 D+s rather than 61. C-s couldn't keep doubling indefinitely, so they simply went from 90 to 124, while the C's more modestly climbed from 41 to 50. Those that just passed, the C+s, grew from 12 to 17, while B-s did nearly as well, 12 to 16. The B's increased from ten to thirteen, and another B+ was added, now three instead of two.
As for the decade breakdown, the 1920s managed to double to four, and the '30s also doubled, from nine to seventeen. The '40s are at 17 as well, rather than 11. The '50s just hopped from 25 to 30, while the '60s grew from 14 to 21. The '70s, which tripled last time, just went from 18 to 23. The '80s increased from 29 to 41, the '90s from 44 to 59. The reigning decade of the 2000s went from 81 to 105, while last decade grew from 67 to 83. (Yes, at some point I will review 2020s movies, but obviously not any time soon.)
Movies based on books, which were one-fifth of the total initially, and then almost one-fourth last time, are now more than one-fourth, with 103. Warner Brothers is still the king of the studios, with 51, although as always I have to point out that it's harder now with less centralization.
Predictions? I'll definitely finish the Cs before I hit five hundred, maybe even the D's. And there will be some D's in those D's, just as there have been some C's in these C's.
