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.

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

- 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.
