The formula for calculating the Top Rated 50 Titles gives a true Bayesian estimate:weighted rating (WR) = (v ÷ (v+m)) × R + (m ÷ (v+m)) × C
where: R = average for the movie (mean) = (Rating) v = number of votes for the movie = (votes) m = minimum votes required to be listed in the Top 50 (currently 200) C = the mean vote across the whole report (currently 6.6) for the Top 50, only votes from regular voters are considered.
