Titles that released not for public

So it's you, but not all festivals are like that, some are attended by 10 people but it goes as public release, where hunders of accounts can rate it bad, that's the main problem of it. You can rate the title, when it's available to everyone, not when only 10 people saw it. And that would be ok, but not before when only few people saw that. I encountered many titles, that could have 7-8, but has 4-5 because of this. When there's 10k+ ratings, sure it will be ok, but when it's less than 1k+ it's not. 

@ugnieska​ Obviously, every film festival has its own number of people they can/will host, but the fact remains that they are public. In other words, everybody can buy a ticket and go see a film that shows there, just like people can if a film is shown in a cinema in the "regular" situation. (Mind you, even then there are enough films that only attract a couple of 100 visitors, leading to just 10 votes on IMDb.)

I just checked a film I saw this weekend and I wonder if you'd want voting to open for this title on November 6th (the day of its first "general" release), after a couple of thousand people had already seen it in about 35 festivals all over the world: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27847051/releaseinfo/ ?

That what i was telling about. When there is 20k + votes couple hundreds 1 ratings won't hurt it, but when there is 500 votes and 200 are random 1, rating will be destroyed forever. That's the problem of it, many people base their viewing on rating it has. When normally title is decent and would have 7-8, here it gets 4-5. Oh title has 4-5 rating? I'm not watching that. So why imdb exist then if you can't trust the ratings?
