So, looks great, but who is it for? For movie execs? I don't see myself needing much more than the movie review and a critics ... the rest is way over my head. Anyone care to explain to me?

You don't make your casual viewing decisions based on the difference in box office performance during the second and third weeks of the movie's theatrical run?!
Actually lol-ed at this reply.

In a better world perhaps this would be true...

That's a good question, and it's true if you're a casual movie watcher beyond the critics and audience scores I don't think you do need much more tbh. And we do make those available, and aggregate and weight all the inputs across many sites so we give you a really good score there. There may be an Expert vs Casual mode in the future where we hide some of the crazier stats.

That said, some of the feedback we've gotten so far from more casual users also likes the future movies and buzz score, it's an easy way to see what's coming up this year and how excited people are about it.
