ScriptBook’s prediction accuracy reaches 87%. This has been verified with already-released films, and their results nearly always match reality.
Proof of concept
ScriptBook’s AI predicts box office financial performance with 87% accuracy across 100,000+ scripts. In a formal validation study with a major Hollywood studio — 50 films released in 2019, screenplay only as input, no production or marketing data — that performance translated to 80% greenlight accuracy versus the industry’s 36% standard.
Our AI correctly greenlit the majority of films that performed at the US box office, and correctly red-lit the majority of loss-makers — using only what’s on the page.
This isn’t theoretical. This is a peer-reviewable benchmark, run against real Hollywood outcomes, on a real studio’s slate.
If you greenlight films without ScriptBook,
you’re financing your own flop.
Independent verification
ScriptBook’s prediction accuracy reaches 87%. This has been verified with already-released films, and their results nearly always match reality.
The chart below shows profit/loss for each of the 50 films in the study. Gold bars represent ScriptBook greenlights — the AI correctly identified the majority of profitable films. Grey bars are ScriptBook redlights (correctly identified loss-makers). Black bars are the small number of false predictions where the AI diverged from actual outcomes.
The industry gave false greenlights to 32 out of 50 films — approving projects that went on to lose money. ScriptBook correctly identified 25 of those 32 films as box office flops.
This means our AI decision support system actively increases profit potential by preventing the production of value-destroying titles — before a single dollar is spent on production.
ScriptBook achieved 80% greenlight accuracy compared to the industry's 36% — more than double the performance, using only the screenplay as input. (This sits alongside ScriptBook's broader 87% accuracy when predicting box office financial performance across our full 100,000+ script database.)
