Abstract: Forecasting financial success of a particular movie has intrigued many scholars and industry leaders as a worthy but challenging problem. In this study, we explore the use of machine learning methods to forecast the financial performance of a movie at the box-office before its theatrical release. In our models, we convert the forecasting problem into a multinomial classification problem—rather than forecasting the point estimate of box-office receipts; we classify a movie based on its box-office receipts in one of nine categories, ranging from a “flop” to a “blockbuster.” Herein, we present our comparative prediction results along with variable importance measures (using sensitivity analysis on trained prediction models).
