I thought that I liked statistics, but the folks over at Crooked Marquee have put me to shame. They have taken a dive into a breakdown of the roughly 615 movies released in the first half of 2018. They divided the movies into three groups: wide releases (70), limited releases (443), and documentaries (102).
They’re not looking for the best film, but are looking at who is making these films and where are they coming from both culturally and intellectually. One of the best stats that I saw was about where ideas for mainstream feature films comes from. It’s worth a click!
