Vote Count vs Rating
Analyzing the relationship between audience engagement and film ratings
Engagement and Perception
This visualization explores the relationship between the number of votes a movie receives (a proxy for audience engagement) and its average rating. By analyzing this relationship, we can identify patterns in how audience size relates to critical reception and whether widely-viewed films tend to receive different ratings than niche productions.

Key Insights
Engagement-Rating Correlation
Our analysis reveals a moderate positive correlation between vote count and average rating, suggesting that films with broader audience engagement tend to receive slightly higher ratings. However, this relationship is not linear and varies significantly by genre.
Rating Stability
Films with higher vote counts show more stable ratings with less variance, while those with fewer votes display greater rating volatility. This suggests that larger sample sizes lead to more consistent aggregate ratings.
Outlier Analysis
We identified several notable outliers - films with unusually high ratings despite low vote counts, or conversely, widely-viewed films with unexpectedly low ratings. These outliers often represent cult classics or divisive blockbusters.
