Correlation tables are a numerical representation of the bivariate relationships in the dataset.

Positive numbers indicate a positive correlation — one goes up the other goes up — and negative numbers represent an inverse correlation — one goes up the other goes down. 1.0 indicates a perfect correlation.

So looking in the first row, first column we see rank has a perfect correlation with itself, which is obvious. On the other hand, the correlation between votes and revenue_millions is 0.6. A little more interesting.

Examining bivariate relationships comes in handy when you have an outcome or dependent variable in mind and would like to see the features most correlated to the increase or decrease of the outcome. You can visually represent bivariate relationships with scatterplots (seen below in the plotting section).
