Wild speculation now available in graph form

Earlier I mentioned (or maybe not, I don't remember) the idea that the most financially successful movies in the superhero genre are also the most critically acclaimed, an anomaly in the world of mainstream American cinema (critically panned comedies, horrors and drama dominate the box office all the time). I tested this theory by comparing the RottenTomatoes scores and Box Office Intakes of 29 major superhero movies from the last 10 years (ie Post-9/11), and sure enough:

There's definitely a correlation there (a strong one, says my limited knowledge of data management), implying that in superhero movies, what appeals viscerally/subconsciously to the average moviegoer is also what appeals intellectually to professional critics, which isn't usually the case. As for what this might mean...I'm pretty sure I explained my thoughts behind the theory (which has now been mathematically proven!) in an early post, but if not, you'll hear all about it in my seminar.
