Abstract :
We perform social network analysis on movie producing teams formed by directors, producers and writers, using data from IMDb. We assemble an evolving social network by linking agents that worked together throughout history. After, we proceed to calculate topological and non-topological metrics from this network and its teams through time. We present the evolution of topological and non-topological metrics. We analyze the correlation between these metrics and two success parameters: movie´s ratings and gross income.
