Can someone explain the user ratings?
I was surfing IMDb this morning, and was flummoxed by some of the user ratings numbers I was seeing.
Take for instance, these user rates on this page - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13984924/ratings/#void
The average user rating is listed as a 5.8 rating, but the rating distribution underlying the 5.8 rating doesn't seem to match up.

Is your rating system broken?

Hi Kehvann -
IMDb publishes weighted vote averages rather than raw data averages. So while we accept and consider all votes received by users, not all votes have the same impact (or ‘weight’) on the final rating.
For more information I encourage you to review our Ratings FAQ.
I hope this helps!
