Methodology
1. Experts at RantCasino.com sought to discover which new movie release in spring 2022 people are most excited for.
2. To do this, a seed list of the top 100 most popular movies in 2022 according to IMDb was collected and the movies released between March and May (22 movies) were analyzed for this study.
3. From this, in-house experts found a Google Trends average search interest over the past year for each of these movies.
4. An average was then created from all of the Google Trends data. *From this, each spring movie was ranked on an ‘excitement scale’ by determining how many times below or above the average each movie’s score was. This resulted in a global ranking of the movies people have been most excited for in spring 2022 and the ranking providing the context of comparison to the average Google Trends score.
5. Data is correct as of 22/02/22 and is subject to change.
