Scored from 456 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2010s (13,059 peers).
Summary
In 2002, Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane uses statistical analysis and sabermetrics to assemble a competitive baseball team on a limited budget, challenging baseball's traditional scouting methods and attempting to build a winning franchise without the spending power of richer teams.
Moneyball is a 2011 drama and sport film. It was made in the United States. The runtime is 133 minutes. It is rated PG-13. It stars Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Philip Seymour Hoffman. It was directed by Bennett Miller.
13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 6,737 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 456 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 472 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
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 Moneyball 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 · 2010s (13,059 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 456.
