Best not connect datapoints into a continuous graph if the connection doesn't mean anything. These things are not on a cardinal scale.

In that case columns are usually more appropriate than a graph.

I used a line graph since I ordered the movies in chronological order, so over time it shows that A24 movies were bringing in less and less box office success

It's not apparent that the entries are ordered chronologically. Also, why not include other A24 films?

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.

Or just the circles without the line would be cool too. That would work here, right?

This is a terrible chart, eek. Data is not beautiful.

Sure it would work too. It is less visible than a bar chart though, so I'd not prefer that visualization.

Line chart makes no sense here as there is no "in between" EEAO and X.

Should have used a bar chart.
