Suspected ratings manipulation — ROYA (tt39367246)
I'm reporting suspicious rating activity on the title ROYA (2026): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39367246/
The film has not yet been released in Iran or the Middle East, yet the ratings breakdown filtered by "Iran" shows 14 votes with an unusual distribution: 85.7% (12 votes) at 1-star, 7.1% (1 vote) at 2-star, and 7.1% (1 vote) at 6-star, with zero votes anywhere else on the scale. Since the film hasn't been publicly viewable in that territory, these votes could not reflect an actual viewing experience.
This pattern is consistent with coordinated vote brigading rather than organic audience response, and I'd appreciate it if your ratings-integrity team could review this title.

Hi Pak-
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 FAQ.
Cheers!
