The article discusses how Artificial Intelligence can be used to understand the relationships between movie tropes and their impact on a film's rating and popularity. Researchers used algorithms to analyze thousands of movies, identifying recurring themes and tropes such as "Hero's Journey", "McGuffin" or "Eldritch Horror." They then tracked how these tropes were related to the film's ratings and popularity on websites like IMDB. The results showed that certain trope communities, were strongly correlated with higher ratings and box office success. The study highlights the potential for AI to help filmmakers and studios better understand audience preferences and predict box office success.
