    "> Microsoft sees all the big companies creating original video content, and they want to get in on the fun. They have decided to create a new movie studio, but the problem is they don’t know anything about creating movies. They have hired you to **help them better understand the movie industry**. Your team is charged with doing data analysis and creating a presentation that **explores what type of films are currently doing the best** at the box office. You must then translate those findings into **actionable insights** that the CEO can use when deciding what type of films they should be creating."
