Media Franchise Powerhouses

This data comes from Wikipedia and includes franchises that have grossed at least $4 billion usd. How do different media franchises stack up with their revenue streams?

I took a stab at cleaning up the data in R directly from the source - I made some opinionated decisions about how to group categories (there were > 60 distinct categories), if you'd like a deeper dive on data cleaning try working with the data purely from the source.

I have included my script in this repo so you can take a peek at how we got here.

A popular reddit/dataisbeautiful post examined this data with ggplot2.
