Summary
A single mother and her two children move to a small Oklahoma town to settle in a house inherited from her estranged father. When paranormal activity erupts in the town, the family discovers their grandfather's connection to the original Ghostbusters and must stop a supernatural threat.
Jason Reitman directed Ghostbusters: Afterlife, a comedy, action and supernatural film from 2021. It stars Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard and McKenna Grace. The runtime is 124 minutes. Its comedy subtype is Action Comedy. It is rated PG-13. It was made in the United States.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 2,311 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 1,656 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 1,729 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,929 2020s films, not against the whole corpus.
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 Ghostbusters: Afterlife 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 1,656.
