Goal

Create a predictive model that predicts whether a movie will achieve an average IMDb rating of > 7.5. Shows the variables that have the greatest impact on model decisions. Also shows the predicted performance of the model with a random sample of 10% of the data.

Dataset

The dataset can be fetched from Kaggle.
