The Flicketz FanScore® is our gift to movie lovers everywhere. 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’re trying to make this sound complicated and super reliable, which it is) 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. Then we apply our secret mojo to determine its ranking.

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

Seen a movie lately? Then rate it using the Flicketz FanScore^®!

As a Flicketz member, your ratings are one of three key components that help us calculate the FanScore rating for each movie. Just click on the "Rate It!" button next to any movie and give it a rating. We'll take what you say, convert it to a numerical value, feed it into the super-secret FanScore formula, and make sure each movie has a FanScore rating to guide your viewing.

Remember, you can rate as many movies as you like, but only once, so make up your mind and make your rating count!

How is the Flicketz FanScore^® calculated?

Hey, we can’t give away all of our secrets! What we can tell you, though, is that Flicketz does the hard work for you, the Fan. We scope out a lot of national and local critic reviews, look at actual box office results, and, of course, pay attention to the ratings of you and other opinionated moviegoers. Then, we take all of these elements, throw them into our secret formula and voilà: out comes the Flicketz FanScore rating, from 0 to 100 on a universal scale.

Which movies are included?

All movies currently playing in theaters are eligible to be included in FanScore^®, even if they are not yet playing in your city. We try to get FanScore ratings for ALL movies, but there may be a few that are not included because there is not yet enough information to accurately calculate a FanScore rating.

When is a movie no longer eligible to be in the FanScore^® Top Ten List?

A movie is removed from the FanScore Top Ten list once it’s lost most of its momentum in theaters. For some movies, this may take many weeks, and for others it may be almost immediately. (No, we’re not naming names...) Regardless, a movie will keep its FanScore rating and remain in the Flicketz database for life.

Why does the FanScore^® Rating for a movie sometimes change from week to week?

The short answer is: people are finicky. There’s just no loyalty these days... Seriously, the FanScore rating for each movie is dynamic and does tend to adjust in the first several weeks of release, for better or worse. This is because critics’ reviews and moviegoers’ opinions may vary as more people see a movie, and factors such as how well a movie holds its performance from week to week also go into the calculation of the Box Office piece of the FanScore rating.

Two Movies have the same FanScore^® rating but one is ranked higher. What's up with that?

Good question.  You're paying attention.  Our super-secret formula calculates values out to four decimals, but we show each FanScore rating to you as a rounded whole number.  Multiple movies may appear to have the same FanScore rating although one is actually higher than the other; and, therefore, ranks higher.
