A lot of you know we have a poll in the RunPee app where we ask fans to rate a movie before they see it — using expectations — and again after they see it, to compare how it did. We think this is some pretty unique movie data and shows some interesting trends. We call this the Peeple’s Poll because — well, it should seem obvious.
The Batman vs The Peeple’s Poll
Give the chart some time. There’s a lot to break down. If it helps, the light red/green colors represent the Expectation Rating, and the darker colors represent the Final Rating. I limited the vertical axis to only the necessary range of 75-100 so that the changes would be exaggerated. If I keep a 0-100 range it obscures the subtle differences.
If you focus only on the men/red colors, then you’ll notice a distinctive u-shaped curve to the results over age. The Batman appealed to the older and younger crowd more than those in the middle. Roughly speaking, the same can be said for women, only not as pronounced.

Gender only results
According to the data, women went into the theater with a lower expectation rating than men, but their final rating is nearly the same as men. By the numbers: Women had an expectation rating of 7.7, whereas men had an 8.2 expectation. The final rating was pretty close: 8.3/women to 8.4/men. The difference is that women’s final rating improved by 0.6 over expectation, whereas the men’s final rating improved 0.2 over expectation.
Gender vote counts
For whatever reason, men out voted women by a 3-to-1 margin for The Batman. Come on ladies. You need to step up and vote more often!
I don’t know what the gender ratio is for the RunPee app in general, but I suspect that it’s close to 50/50, with men maybe outnumbering women by a few percent. But, what I do know: 16,419 men have submitted at least one vote to the Peeple’s Poll over the life of the RunPee app, but only 8,799 women have done so. That’s a 2-to-1 difference. I’m very curious why women seem to be more reluctant to submit their thoughts to the Peeple’s Poll.
Ratings vs Time
If you agree that true fans of Batman were more likely to see the movie sooner rather than later, then the data shows said true Batman fans had a higher expectation than maybe the casual fans, who may have wanted until Sunday to see the movie. The expectation fell from a high of 83.5 on Friday, to a low of 79.3 on Sunday. I’ll revisit this data after next weekend and see what the longer trend implies.
| day | Expectation | Final Rating | Delta |
| Friday | 83.5 | 84.8 | 1.3 |
| Saturday | 81.3 | 85.2 | 3.9 |
| Sunday | 79.3 | 82.6 | 3.3 |
| Monday | 79.7 | 82.2 | 2.5 |

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!

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
