The method, in full

How this is scored

Reported gross: Worldwide box office as reported on TMDB, as a percentile of the industry.
Return on budget: Gross against budget, capped so a tiny budget cannot outrank a real blockbuster.
Audience rating: TMDB user rating, trusted more the more people have voted.
Momentum: Gross discounted by age, so a hit this year outweighs the same gross from a decade ago.
Resono members (off): Watches, favourites and written takes from members here.

Gross and rating are as reported on TMDB and Wikipedia, which are crowd-sourced and can lag or disagree with studio statements. Treat them as indicative rather than audited.
