Flicketz FanScore Powered by OTX Research (July 30, 2009)

This week's Flicketz FanScore^® Top Ten is now available on flicketz.com and can be accessed directly at www.fanscore.com. Let the FanScore rating system guide you in your next movie-going decision.

This Week's Results:
The limited release political satire, IN THE LOOP, debuts at #1 with a FanScore^® rating of 94 (out of 100). No other new releases from last week made the FanScore top ten.

The FanScore^® rating system gives smaller platform and limited released titles the opportunity to compete with the larger mainstream titles. The current mix in the FanScore top ten is 5 wide releases and 5 limited/platform releases. Besides, IN THE LOOP, such limited/platform released titles as 500 DAYS OF SUMMER, THE HURT LOCKER, FOOD, INC., and MOON sit side by side with the larger mainstream releases on this week’s FanScore top ten. This marks the first time since February that two platform released titles (Slumdog Millionaire and The Wrestler in February) occupy the top two spots in the FanScore top ten. Could that be a sign that awards' season is just around the corner?

About The Flicketz FanScore^®:

The Flicketz FanScore^® is the definitive ranking of the best and most enjoyable movies playing in theaters nationwide. Using a blend of advanced analysis and real-time data to create our proprietary formula, we carefully consider three weighted factors to determine the weekly FanScore rating for each movie: reviews, box office, and what moviegoers like you are saying. Many other movie rating systems take only one of these factors into account, FanScore considers all three.

The higher a film ranks, the higher its FanScore^® rating, and the more likely it is that you and other moviegoers will enjoy it!
