Is it a counter-programming to family or teen skewing movies or does it have direct competition? A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is probably the most direct competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 We've got a perfect example of MetaCritic's weighted average that no one understands right now with this and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Both have 8 reviews so far and they look like this side by side: Knives Out ABDITN 100 100 91 91 90 90 80 85 80 83 75 80 70 70 60 60 They start and end identical, the top and bottom score even came from the same publications, but in the middle it's clear ABDITN beats Knives Out just a bit, but Knives Out sits at an 81 while the former's at an 80. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different publications hold different weight. Metacritic never discloses their algorithm. RT in a sense is more honest because it is just a straight approval meter. But even then, it's up to RT which reviewers get on the platform, for example they've started putting dozens of fancentric blogs on there that count as reviews.

This is just a perfect example of it and why it should be made clear by MC just how it works. There's gotta be quite a difference in the weighted average here considering ABDITN scores higher from nearly half of the reviews published, ties the rest, but still comes out under.

That and the scores for a lot of major publications (which are then more weighted) are assigned by MC - not by the reviewer and sometimes they look like they pulled a number out of a hat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Knives Out will probably do better with young adults, but they’ll fight over the older adults. But honestly, there’s enough room for both movies to do very well. So I don’t think competition will really be a problem for either one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
