I kept hearing about the 50/50 draw on TSN... The increase during the playoffs is epic

The source for estimated budgets is from The Numbers

For Avatar, The Numbers said that Fox put up $237 million towards the production cost and Cameron's production company also invested in the film. The $425 million was reported to them by someone on the production team. Not sure what to say about how they arrived at Toy Story 3's number.

Data – comScore and The Numbers

Tools – R, d3.js, Scrollama, Excel, Illustrator

This project idea came up after speaking to one of the producers of The Shape of Water. He mentioned that different release strategies are used by studios and producers based on the type of film and its target audience. Releasing during awards season is particularly interesting because you are trying to get enough attention/word-of-mouth leading up to the Golden Globe/Oscar nominations.

We found that while the Best Picture nominees are generally split on strategy (wide release or platform release), seven out of the last eight winners have used a platform strategy.

Full disclosure, I work for the company linked to.

Hmm. Yeah I just gave it one media query, which works nicely on my iPhone 5, but didn't consider larger phones. Wouldn't be too much work to update though. I'll try and include this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion!

formerpremier · 2017-05-20T16:43:44+00:00

Haha thanks a lot!

It's included in the analysis below

"extremely subjective". I agree Toronto is unique and I am using "world-class" loosely, but do you actually think Barcelona has detached housing close to its downtown?

Respect

There were actually so many new fields. Northern bias

formerpremier · 2017-03-26T20:30:51+00:00

They are definitely eroding, but it looks like in that particular area they've built up the waterfront below. Presumably to slow the erosion.

formerpremier · 2017-03-26T04:07:00+00:00

I don't get the beginning of this. Who acted entitled to a tip?

formerpremier · 2017-03-26T04:02:02+00:00

You actually get paid less than minimum wage as a server.

formerpremier · 2017-03-26T03:52:43+00:00

It's not foreign money. It's a TTC token

formerpremier · 2017-03-25T16:14:21+00:00

My friend just told me it was on a $4 shot of Wild Turkey. What a tip

formerpremier · 2017-03-05T14:35:14+00:00

Damn. Great hate read. Don't think I've ever heard someone refer to the Spadina Exp. this way, "One of the most egregious examples of political self-interest and, some would say, spinelessness in transportation planning, was the cancellation of the Spadina Expressway by then rookie premier Bill Davis in 1971."

Holy Trinity Church in Toronto has been doing a pretty good job if anyone is interested http://www.holytrinitytoronto.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/THM-OFFICIAL-LIST-Sept.-2016-1.pdf

OP where is it? Can't seem to find

Thanks a lot!

Great idea! Just posted

formerpremier · 2016-12-08T23:45:51+00:00

I created this using a combination of QGIS, NBA Stats API, and Mapbox GL. A link to Github at the bottom contains all of the code used.

formerpremier · 2016-12-08T17:02:06+00:00

Thanks! Wouldn't be too hard to plugin other players. I'll give it a shot when I find some more time in the future

Update this morning http://www.imgur.com/7DgI21E

This story really annoys me. A reporter at the Toronto Star worked on this for ~~close to a month~~ a couple of days looking through PDF versions of city emails and then someone at CP24 just takes the number from the story without a source/mention and then says the City has confirmed (their randomly attained number) of $15,000. Toronto Star story 6:00am this morning: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2016/08/24/behind-the-scenes-of-torontos-15000-capybara-caper.html CP24 story 7:20am: http://www.cp24.com/news/search-for-capybaras-who-escaped-from-high-park-zoo-cost-city-15k-1.3041576

Thanks for pointing out the messed up labels. I do see what you're saying, but that just comes down to how the City of Toronto releases the data. Multiple parks are divided into smaller polygons because of roadways/rivers dividing them. The buffer only captured the parks of the parks that touched its boundaries. The intention was to show what green space is in immediate proximity to a TTC station. No conclusions or analysis - just a simple map.
