A second review pool sits behind it as well: 4,808 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 198 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 207 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 4,081 1990s films, not against the whole corpus.
