Not to forget that they are using their quasimonopoly as marketplace (and therefore quick access to listed prices) to undercut competitors by just one cent on many products and doing so on just the slightest of margins. This could be regulated, an open marketplace with such high relevance should not be run by an entity who also sells on said market in order to ensure free trade.

There is not much but the small difference is interesting, it seems that humans slightly prefer to stay in the middle rather than using the border files, which makes sense since the middle pieces have a lot more potential of movement. The computer probably uses these border places better since it is planning the benefit of a move further into the future more often rather than the human tactic of developing to control most of the board.

Still interpolation between two points in your graph makes no sense since they are discrete (i.e. there is no 'in between' two movies). A line graph always interpolates between the datapoints suggesting there are continuous values in between the datapoints, so the usage here does not make much sense. You can still see the decrease in box office success in a bar chart.

If you wanted to show the decrease in box office earnings over time then you could just plot the box office earnings of A24 over time and maybe colorize the contributions of each movie or something like that, if that data is available of course.

But exactly that is a very bold statement, the numbers might be correlated but there are many things I could think of why they are probably not causing each other. Primarily both are depending, through the GDP, on the global economic situation. Both countries economies are dependent on trade with the world and show probably the same characteristics. Therefore a measure by GDP gives a less conclusive picture of the situation as it brings in extra correlative factors.
