The calibrated figure is built from 129 of its IMDb reviewers. A broader pool of 133 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,140 1980s films, not against the whole corpus. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 613 of whom clear the calibration test.
