Sex and the City 2
Scored from 227 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2010s (13,059 peers).
Summary
Two years after the events of the first film, Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha navigate the new challenges of marriage, motherhood, and menopause in New York. When Samantha scores an all-expenses-paid trip to Abu Dhabi, the four friends escape on a lavish girls' getaway, where culture clashes and old flames test their friendships and marriages.
Sex and the City 2 is a 2010 comedy, drama and romance film. Inside comedy it is classed as Romcom.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 13,058 2010s films, not against the whole corpus. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 4,410 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 227 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 234 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 Sex and the City 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 227.
