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!
