I don’t have to tell you what a crazy year this was, and how the movie industry was flipped upside down. But, we did still see movies. And if we’re going to watch a movie, we’re going to rate it. So here’s the movie ratings we compiled for 2020.
This is a breakdown of the Peeple’s Poll rating, along with the IMDb ratings, for the top 23 movies this year. Note: I limited the pool of movies to those that had at least 50 votes in the Peeple’s Poll.

If you really want to gorge yourself on some data, here’s a table with the same results above, but including the Peeple’s Poll Expectation, and the difference between Expectation and Final votes. Oh, and I threw in our staff movie grades for kicks.

Here’s a few things that stand out to me in the data above:
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

- Wonder Woman 1984 narrowly missed meeting expectations. That’s not good. You can see that only a handful of really bad movies failed to meet expectations.
- Birds of Prey, the other female superhero movie of 2020, slightly outperformed #WW84 in the Peeple’s Poll final vote.
- Sonic the Hedgehog performed better against expectations than any other movie this year. That doesn’t mean it was a great movie. But it does mean that the fans who saw the movie didn’t think it would be much going in, but were pleasantly surprised in the end.
- Honest Thief fell off a cliff.
- Our staff grades here at RunPee generally follow the Peeple’s Poll Final results, with one notable exception. Somehow RunPee Sis LOVED the movie Downhill, which the Peeple Poll shows was exceptionally bad. That’s my sister — the outlier.
Don’t miss your favorite movie moments because you have to pee or need a snack. Use the RunPee app (Androidor iPhone) when you go to the movies. We have Peetimes for all wide release films every week, including Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Reagan, Deadpool & Wolverine and coming soon Transformers One, The Wild Robot, Megalopolis, Joker: Folie à Deux, Venom: The Last Ride and many others.
