1,343 ratings. The score is reasonably stable but could shift up to 0.07 as more ratings come in.
The Math
Prior (global mean)m = 5.985
Prior weightC = 500
Observed ratingsn = 1,343
Observed averageR = 7.9
Posterior mean (Bayesian score)7.381
95% confidence interval±0.0733
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.
