What the numbers mean

The Pros: our combined score from professional reviews, out of 100, after correcting each review site's habits.
The Punters: our combined score from public audience ratings, corrected the same way.
Spore Score: the two combined, weighted by how reliable each source has been across thousands of films.
gap_pros_minus_punters: positive means critics liked it more; negative means audiences did.
sources: how many review sites fed the score. Treat one- and two-source scores with care.
