Spore Score: coming soon

We don't guess. Once Drag is out and The Pros (professional reviews) and The Punters (public ratings) have had their say, this page and the film page fill in the Spore Score automatically, usually within hours of the first reviews.

Trailer buzz

Buzz score 43 out of 100, which ranks it 48th of the 65 films we track releasing in the next three months. Trend: Cooling off. Its main trailer has about 310,581 views on YouTube.

In a sample of 50 trailer comments, 64% read as positive and 12% as negative (automatic sentiment check, run by us).

The Buzz score measures attention before release: how fast trailer views are growing (50%), total views (20%), likes and comments per view (15%) and comment mood (15%). It is not a review score and never feeds into the Spore Score.
