| In Tokyo!, three visionary directors (Michel Gondry, Leos Carax and Bong Joon-ho) come together for an omnibus triptych examining the nature of one unforgettable city as it’s shaped by the disparate people who live, work (and run amok) inside an enormous, constantly evolving, densely populated Japanese megalopolis -- the enchanting and inimitable Tokyo. Interior Design (Michel Gondry). A young couple tries to set themselves up in Tokyo. The young man's ambition is clear -- to become a film director. His girlfriend, far more indecisive, cannot escape the vague feeling that she's losing control of her life. Directionless, both are beginning to go under in this vast city until the young woman, utterly alone, becomes the object of a bizarre transformation...Merde(Leos Carax) A mysterious creature spreads panic in the streets of Tokyo by means of his provocative and destructive behavior. This man, dubbed "The Creature of the Sewers" by the media, arouses both passion and repulsion...until the moment he is captured...Shaking Tokyo (Bong Joon-Ho) For more than 10 years, he's been a hikikomori. He lives shut up in his apartment, strictly limiting all contact with the outside world to an absolute minimum. When a pizza delivery girl faints in his home during an earthquake, the unthinkable happens -- he falls in love. Shortly after, he learns that the girl has in turn become a hikikomori. Will he dare cross the threshold that separates his apartment from the rest of the world? | |
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.
