Abstract: Around 60% of the movies produced worldwide are box office failures. Since it affects a large number of stakeholders, movie business prediction is a very relevant as well as challenging problem. There had been many attempts to predict the box office earnings of a movie after the theatrical release. Comparatively research works are inadequate to predict a movie's fate before its release. Viewers are introduced to a movie via trailers before its theatrical release. The reviews of these trailers are indicative of a movie's initial success. This work is focused on movie rating and business prediction on the basis of trailer reviews as well as other attributes. Several experiments have been performed using multiple classifiers to find appropriate classifier(s) which can predict the rating and box office performance of a movie to be launched. Experimentally it has been found that random forest (RF) classifier has outperformed others and produced very promising results.
