Hey guys I've posted before about this, but things are getting worse and I dont know why?

Can someone explain me in few sentences, why is this score so low, when 80% of people voted with maximum? Based on these numbers the average should be approximetly 8..

Please dont send me links to read, just explain me.

Hi @didonkin -

IMDb does not use the arithmetic mean when calculating the ratings, instead, we use a weighted average scheme. This explains why there's often a discrepancy between the user rating displayed on a film's title page and the arithmetic mean of all the votes cast for that film. For more details about IMDb weighted ratings I encourage you to review our Help Page.

I hope this helps!
