This is a chart of some of the most popular movies that have come out recently. They rang from a group of people falling into the earths atmosphere, “Gravity” to a man falling in love with a computer, “Her”. 

There is a direct correlation between the ticket sales and how many nominations the movie was given. The formula for this would be, R (revenue) = F (N). N being Nominations. 

There is one input for every output.

The correlation between the decrease in VCR sales and the decrease in DVD sales are very similar. This is because all these devices are in the same industry, and are just a more technologically advanced version of the prior. When the DVD player was introduced, the consumer market was very intrigued because it was a brand new device to them. This is why VCR sales dropped so quickly and the DVD excelled so quickly. When the Blu-Ray player was introduced into the consumer market, there was probably less of an interest, because it was pretty much the same thing as a DVD player, just a better picture resolution. From personal experience I really can’t tell the difference from a DVD or Blu-Ray picture. My family still has yet, to catch onto the Blu-Ray trend. The Blu-Ray player will most likely become as common as the DVD player, but it will not happen as quickly as the DVD player took over the VCR.
