Imagine a world where power is measured by numbers instead of buzz and popular opinion. Introducing The PowerGrid. The PowerGrid answers the movie business’s most urgent questions:

• Who is the most powerful actor in town - and whose star is falling?
• Which agent represents top-performing talent - and whose clients consistently underperform?
• Which director is most bankable - and whose time has passed?

The PowerGrid ranks Hollywood’s players based on facts, not on hype. It grades the success or failure of projects in real time. Every person, project, and company in the movie business gets a PowerScore based on ItsontheGrid’s proprietary, data-driven formula, along with a PowerRanking that shows how much influence they have relative to their peers. Better luck next time, Conventional Wisdom. Because in this crazy, mixed-up town, only numbers don’t lie.

You’re welcome, Hollywood.

The PowerGrid will be launching soon. Subscribers to First Take and ItsontheGrid will receive launch notices.
