Summary
In Paul King's British family comedy, the Peruvian bear Paddington Brown is settled with the Brown family in London's Windsor Gardens and well liked up and down the street. Looking for a hundredth-birthday present for his Aunt Lucy back in Peru, he finds a one-of-a-kind pop-up book of London in Mr. Gruber's antique shop and takes on window-cleaning and barbering work to pay for it. The book is stolen, Paddington is arrested for the theft and sent to prison, where he sets about winning over the inmates and the fearsome cook Knuckles McGinty. The Browns start hunting for the real thief, unaware that the culprit is their vain neighbor, the faded stage actor Phoenix Buchanan.

289 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 297 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. 13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 689 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
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 Paddington 2 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 289.
