大片、炸弹和睡眠者：电影的收入分配
Blockbusters, Bombs and Sleepers: The income distribution of movies
摘要：
每年上映的电影总收入的分布呈现出具有帕累托指数$α\simeq 2$的幂律尾部分布。虽然这与个人的收入分配有着有趣的相似之处，但同样清楚的是，它不能用简单的资产交换模型来解释，因为电影之间并不直接相互作用。事实上，电影（因为有大量关于其收入的数据）为研究“一个热门产品是如何流行的”以及由此产生的流行（产品或想法）的分布提供了最好的切入点。在本文中，我们展示了帕累托定律的电影收入的证据，以及收入的时间演变的分析。
英文摘要：
The distribution of gross earnings of movies released each year show a distribution having a power-law tail with Pareto exponent $α\simeq 2$. While this offers interesting parallels with income distributions of individuals, it is also clear that it cannot be explained by simple asset exchange models, as movies do not interact with each other directly. In fact, movies (because of the large quantity of data available on their earnings) provide the best entry-point for studying the dynamics of how ``a hit is born'' and the resulting distribution of popularity (of products or ideas). In this paper, we show evidence of Pareto law for movie income, as well as, an analysis of the time-evolution of income.
