Prior weightC = 500
Observed ratingsn = 308
Observed averageR = 6.3
Posterior mean (Bayesian score)6.105
95% confidence interval±0.1291

Formula: posterior_mean = (n / (n + C)) × R + (C / (n + C)) × m. The confidence interval narrows as more ratings come in. Films with few ratings are pulled toward the global mean.
