About FilmScores

FilmScores combines a financial performance score and an audience reception score into one global score.

The idea behind FilmScores is simple: compile in one place a single score that gives you a comprehensive idea of how well a film performed both financially and in terms of audience success. Rather than juggling box office numbers and ratings across different sources, you get one unified metric that considers both dimensions.

This is a side project built for fun, exploring how we can combine different measures of success into something meaningful and easy to understand.

Financial Score

Based on return ratio revenue / budget, transformed by a logistic function.

S_{f} = \frac{1}{1 + e^{- 15 ln (\frac{revenue}{budget})}}

Audience Score

Audience score is a direct normalization of TMDB average vote.

S_{a} = \frac{vote average}{10}

Dynamic Weighting

The audience weight increases with vote count using a second logistic function.

w_{a} = \frac{1}{1 + e^{- 0.01 ln (\frac{vote count}{5000})}}

w_{f} = 1 - w_{a}

Global Score And Display

Final score is the weighted sum of both components, then rendered as a percentage.

S = S_{f} w_{f} + S_{a} w_{a}
