We spend a lot of time looking at the readership stats on our polls, ratings, and reviews. Last night I noticed that our ratings for the film Tag has a pretty wide movie spread, as shown in our polling statistics.
[pullquote]What this means: a lot of people had a low opinion of Tag going in, and had a hugely high opinion of it afterward. Tag is polling WELL above expectations.[/pullquote]. Only Adrift and Overboard (both boat movies, hmmmm) had a wider spread.Notice how fans originally anticipated the movie would rate in at the C- range (7.1), but walked out with a B- (8.1). People in my demographic (women around 50) gave it a high B (8.6). My vote was an A- (9.1). I see hundreds of movies each year, and this one pleasantly surprised me. I tend to be harsher on films than most. Tag was simply fun, and a nice respite from more serious world concerns.

We broke it down further, using ranges from recent films that RunPee fans voted on:
Only a few movies really disappointed fans, namely Hereditary (by a huge margin), Show Dogs (no surprise) and Action Point. And people got as much out of Avenger’s Infinity War as they expected (also, not a surprise – that film knocked it out of the Marvel park).
Anyway, here is the ‘spread’ table. Pluses means better than expected. Films in red mean worse than expected:
Tag | +0.99 |
Solo | 0.69 |
Deadpool 2 | 0.32 |
Infinity War | 0.09 |
Incredibles 2 | +0.36 |
Oceans 8 | +0.42 |
Artimis | +0.34 |
Hereditary | -0.92 |
Upgrade | +0.83 |
Adrift | +1.11 |
Action Point | -0.25 |
Book Club | +0.32 |
Life of the Party | +0.57 |
Show Dogs | -0.24 |
Breaking In | +0.95 |
Tully | +0.45 |
Overboard | +1.28 |
What does this all mean? It means people are loving Tag way more than expected. The film is kind of delightful. Maybe go see it. 🙂
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.
