It would be interesting to have a kind of "batting average" of The Blacklist and compare it to the studios. I.E. total number of hit movies divided by the number of screenplays / movies they have featured / developed. And I think there should be two or three "batting averages": A)Box office batting average. Should incorporate something comparable. Maybe based on the return over investment (ROI) (box office / budget ratio) rather than just the raw box office numbers. B)Critics opinions maybe factoring their Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer rating by critics / top critics. C)Audience rating, also from Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB. It seems their criteria for selecting top ten / bottom ten films is rather subjective. Good, I tend to agree with their choices, but nevertheless subjective.
