Methodology
We compiled a list of the top movies of 2023 using Box Office Mojo. We then used Internet Car Movie Database to collate every car that appeared in those movies and found the car that appeared most times.
Using Midjourney, we asked the tool to ‘create a hyper-realistic image of [insert car model]’ for Hollywood's favourite cars in different movie settings, explaining the desired colour schemes, background imagery and atmosphere of the image.
