Fake ratings for movie - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28812582/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rat

I read that IMDb uses a special algorithm for ratings. Look at the attached title, it has hardly made money at the box office and is out of the theatres in 3 days. It sold 7k tickets on 3rd day and this is rated so high with equal number of votes? mostly fake/bot ratings as it has been bashed left and right by the critics. Need to keep IMDB clean as we love and rely on it so much. Here is the title: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28812582/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rat

Hi honestcritik- Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are aware that there are people who may vote for the sole purpose of trying to inflate/deflate the rating for a movie. We have several safeguards in place to automatically detect and defeat this type of ballot stuffing: even though we count and display all unaltered votes in the rating breakdown, we apply several countermeasures against all attempts to skew the rating for the weighted rating you see displayed on the site. We will review the title in question to ensure that the weighted average is displaying as intended. For more information on our abuse detection methods, or details about IMDb ratings and weighted averages, please refer to our Ratings FAQs: https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/track-movies-tv/ratings-faq/G67Y87TFYYP6TWAV# Cheers!
