Answer 1

The question mentions 8 charts however the images you have provided only have 7. So I am going ahead by choosing one from 7.

I feel A bar chart with the most financially successful genres (based on total revenue generated) is important for the executive for deciding before giving the green light.

The chart reveals that AA genre has contributed most total revenue of 9,249,00. It is followed by Genre A amounting to a total revenue of 5,277,00. the genre SF is next to follow with revenue of 61.83 and F with a revenue of 21.04 and D with the smallest revenue of 17.14. Using this chart executive can easily decide which genre is most liked by the viewer i.e Action/Adventure which has generated the most revenue and Animation is the next successful genre of movie. This easily supported by the 5th graph as most blockbuster movies are made in the Action/Adventure genre i.e. is 18 followed by the animation which has 13 movies. Thus we can say both charts support the data and executive decision
