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.
