Request for review of weighted rating – Ron Hopper's Misfortune (tt8364590)
Dear IMDb Support,
I am the producer of Ron Hopper's Misfortune (IMDb title ID: tt8364590).
I am writing to ask whether the weighted rating currently displayed for this title could be reviewed.
The film currently has 518 ratings. The IMDb ratings breakdown shows an unweighted average of 7.5/10.
The distribution is:
10/10 — 129 ratings (24.9%)
9/10 — 129 ratings (24.9%)
8/10 — 109 ratings (21.0%)
Therefore, 367 of the 518 ratings (70.8%) are 8, 9 or 10.
However, the displayed IMDb weighted rating is currently 4.1/10.
I understand that IMDb uses a weighted rating system and that the exact methodology is not disclosed. I am not asking IMDb to manually increase the rating.
I would simply like to ask whether the weighting applied to this title can be reviewed to confirm that there is no technical issue or unusual voting pattern affecting the current displayed rating.
Could you please confirm whether the 4.1 rating is functioning as intended under IMDb's weighting system, and whether there is any specific weighting adjustment currently affecting this title?
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Franky Lankester
Producer – Ron Hopper's Misfortune

Hi FrankyLankester-
We have reviewed this title and can confirm the weighted rating is displaying as intended. We have several safeguards in place to automatically detect and defeat vote manipulation. When unusual voting activity is detected, a different weighting calculation may be applied in order to preserve the reliability of our system. To ensure our rating mechanism remains effective, we don't disclose the exact method used to generate the rating.
For more information on our abuse detection methods, or details about IMDb ratings and weighted averages, please refer to our Ratings FAQ.
Cheers!
