Summary
A widowed mother goes on her first date in years at an upscale Chicago restaurant, only to start receiving anonymous, threatening AirDrop-style messages on her phone. The sender warns that her young son will be killed unless she carries out a deadly task before the night ends, forcing her to figure out which patron is behind the drops while keeping her date unaware.
Drop (2025) is a film IMDb files under the drama, mystery and thriller genres.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 652 of whom clear the calibration test. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2020s films — 7,930 of them. The calibrated figure is built from 333 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 339 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Drop lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2020s (7,930 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 333.
