Where the Spore Score comes from

Site	Side	Site score	Adjusted /100

How we adjust the scores

The Pros' sites said 81, adjusted to 84; The Punters' sites said 72, adjusted to 76. Every review site has habits: some score high, some low, some bunch everything in the middle. We measure each site's habit across thousands of films and iron it out, so a 7/10 from a generous site and a 7/10 from a harsh one aren't treated the same. Then critics and audiences each get one figure, and the Spore Score sits between them. How the Spore Score works.
