What I did:

• I keep all missing values. Most of the cases missing values stem from lack of information in the website. There is few cases missing values stem from scraper. For example: Some movies will release in 2024 and there are no runtimes and ratings for these movies.

• I changed the syntax of the 'Runtime', 'Rating', 'Number of Ratings', 'Budget', 'Gross in US & Canada', 'Gross worldwide', and 'Opening Weekend Gross in US & Canada' columns.

• In some cases, I utilized the information from a single column to create two separate columns.
