Audit
Checked 2026-10-25T14:24:58-04:00: critics/audience source pages and the BOM chart were refetched live (not from cache) and compared with what the ranking used.
Newer BOM day available: no.
Bugs found and fixed
- Reddit thread finder: also matches the mods' 'Official Disucssion' typo and does a sort=new search; Resident Evil now has its thread (96 comments).
- Critics/audience source: fall back to /m/<slug>_<year> then /m/<slug>, accepted only if the page's release date is within 21 days of the BOM release; Primetime now has 86%/77%.
- Other-sub posts: used for sentiment only if the film's title appears (whole-phrase) in the post title; dropped 3 r/MovieSuggestions posts about The Wicker Man (1973)/folk horror from Wicker.
- Word-boundary title matching everywhere (no more substring hits like 'Verity' in 'severity').
- CinemaScore: grade must appear in a r/boxoffice post title that also names the film; source post recorded.
- Moderator/AMA notices are excluded from sentiment (Whalefall's top 'comment' was an AMA announcement).
- Box office: if the theater count moved more than ±40% vs the same weekday last week, the % change isn't scored (YCSE 855→2655 theaters, Primetime 1451→321).
- Pathway comparison dropped Primetime: --top N counted the re-release 'The Devils 2026 Re-release' (#15 by daily gross) as one of the N, so the default --top 15 comparison runs stopped at 14 ranked films and Primetime (#16) fell off. The live run had used --top 16. Fixed in run.py: --top now counts ranked films only; re-releases are listed but don't use a slot.
Verified
- All 14 matched r/movies threads are the right film (date check passes for 14): each thread's own title is “Official Discussion - <film> [SPOILERS]” and it was posted within a day of the BOM release date.
- Every BOM row matches a fresh refetch, and % vs last week recomputes exactly from the chart 7 days earlier.
- Critics and audience scores match the live source pages, and each page's release date matches the BOM release (right film and year), ; drift since the ranking's fetch (±1, normal): Whalefall audience: 81 when fetched, 82 now; A Talent for Murder critics: 78 when fetched, 77 now; Klara and the Sun critics: 24 when fetched, 25 now.
- The composite recomputes from the signals by hand for every movie (expressions below).
Not verified / known limits
- CinemaScore grades come from r/boxoffice post titles (single-film posts naming the grade). Not cross-checked against cinemascore.com in this run.
- Reddit RSS has no vote counts. “Top” order is Reddit's own, and rank weight stands in for upvotes.
- Since 2026-10-25 the live list uses GPT-6.1 Sol stance verdicts (see Formula and Compare); the siebert evaluation below is kept as the record of the previous step. The checks above (critics/audience scores, BOM, threads, composite by hand) were rerun against the Sol list.
- VADER was replaced (see Sentiment model). The new model is right on 59% of held-out comments, better than VADER but far from perfect. Its main weakness is neutral comments: plot talk that describes a tense or sad scene often gets past the opinion gate and is scored negative. You Can See Everything (Reddit 66 → 47) is the clearest example. Theme sentences still use VADER.
- Second-week films (S&S, Whalefall, Street Fighter) are compared against an opening Friday that included Thursday previews, so their drops look steeper.
- Title matching: a one-word title can still collide with another film named in a post title (e.g. “Wicker” vs “The Wicker Man”). Other-sub posts are now only used when the post title names the film, and they're listed per movie so you can check.
- A Talent for Murder has no r/movies Official Discussion thread (it's covered in a weekend megathread), so its confidence is 0.30.

Sentiment model: VADER → transformer
Labels. All labels were made by the agent (Grok Bot) that built this site, from the comment text alone, without seeing model outputs. They are one annotator's judgment, not an independent or multi-rater gold set. Dev set: 37 comments from the first VADER spot-check (used only to pick thresholds and the model). Held-out set: 112 new comments, 8 random per thread across all 14 threads (seed 2026), labelled before running any model. Distribution: +1 37, 0 60, −1 15.
Selection. Thresholds were picked on the 37 dev comments only (best macro-F1). The model to adopt was picked by dev macro-F1 (siebert+opinion was best on dev: 0.752), then confirmed on the 112 held-out comments, which no threshold or choice was fitted to.
| candidate | threshold (dev-tuned) | dev acc | dev macro-F1 | held-out acc | held-out macro-F1 | held-out sign acc (non-neutral) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| vader | {} | 0.541 | 0.414 | 0.384 | 0.337 | 0.615 |
| cardiff | {} | 0.676 | 0.650 | 0.527 | 0.516 | 0.692 |
| siebert | {"conf": 0.99} | 0.622 | 0.533 | 0.536 | 0.514 | 0.865 |
| vader+opinion | {"op": 0.4} | 0.703 | 0.685 | 0.500 | 0.437 | 0.538 |
| cardiff+opinion | {"op": 0.3} | 0.730 | 0.726 | 0.554 | 0.538 | 0.654 |
| siebert+opinion (adopted) | {"op": 0.4} | 0.757 | 0.752 | 0.589 | 0.577 | 0.788 |
“+opinion” = zero-shot gate: P(opinion) below threshold → neutral. siebert alone is binary; neutral = max prob below threshold.
Significance (held-out, exact McNemar). adopted vs VADER: right where VADER is wrong 32, reverse 9, p = 0.00043. Accuracy gain 95% bootstrap CI [0.098, 0.312]. Against cardiffnlp alone the gain is not significant (p = 0.26493), so either transformer is a clear step up from VADER; siebert+opinion was picked because it was best on dev.
Held-out confusion: VADER

| human -1 | 1 | 2 | 12 |
VADER labelled only 11 of the 60 neutral comments neutral and called 11 of the 15 negatives positive. The adopted model gets 12/15 negatives and 25/60 neutrals. Neutral is still its weakest class.

Effect on the ranking
both runs use the identical cached Reddit/critics/audience/BOM responses (MR_OFFLINE=1), so only the sentiment step differs. Mean |Reddit − critics| over 14 films: 21.3 → 19.4. Klara and the Sun: Reddit 67 → 27 vs critics 24, which removes most of that gap. Verity 52 → 16 (critics 31, audience 71) and Street Fighter 49 → 30 (critics 41, audience 78) now come out harsher than critics. consensus redefined as |pos-neg|/(pos+neg) (weighted). The v1 sd-based formula collapses to 0 for near-0/1 model probabilities. Re-running VADER with the new consensus changes no bucket; 'before' columns are v1 scores/buckets, consensus_before is VADER under the new formula.

| Forgotten Island #42 | I think they did just that. Lol Raissa stole the wings therfore she was the top of the Manananggal. And Jo sacrificed herself to stay on the island and lose all her memories in order to save Raissa. R | +0 | +0.421 | fail |
| Forgotten Island #20 | Yeah the marketing totally lied to us all. It’s. A plot point that doesn’t exist in the movie and it’s heavily put in all the trailers. | +0 | -0.176 | fail |
| You Can See Everything #0 | “I know how you’re feeling right now” “No you don’t” Got the biggest laugh out of my crowd. Just a cathartic line after listening to that douche bag ramble on for an hour. | +1 | +0.382 | pass |

| Wicker #0 | I could comment on what a sweet, unique and surprisingly emotional movie this was, but more than anything right now I wanna say that this is one of the absolute funniest movies I've seen in a theater | +1 | +0.934 | pass |

| Wicker #10 | It’s a very happy, fairy tale ending. | +0 | +0.612 | fail |
| Wildwood #0 | This might be the most impressive filmmaking I’ve ever seen. That scene at the end showing how they made the film really tied it all together and actually made me emotional. 16 years of hard work and | +1 | +0.915 | pass |
| Wildwood #69 | Getting back from the theater I am just in a daze, calling this level of craftsmanship "beautiful" or "amazing" just feels hollow because of how detailed, how intricate, and how above and beyond each | +1 | +0.990 | pass |
| Wildwood #13 | It's incredible how they do these climactic final battles from stop motion but still having it feel incredibly technical and thrilling | +1 | +0.485 | pass |

| Clayface #0 | The scene where Matt has the whole club doing a choreographed dance was fantastic, actually that whole night club scene was very well done. | +1 | +0.718 | pass |
| Clayface #8 | I think that was down to the low budget but the nightclub scene really seemed to turn that weakness into a strength. It was so cool. | +1 | +0.617 | pass |

| Primetime #12 | He's great too. The scene where he just starts doing an impression of Pattinson as Hansen might be the hardest I laughed in a movie where I laughed a lot | +1 | +0.900 | pass |
| Primetime #56 | It was great to see the shock once everyone realized it was a DA. I thought it was a good touch showing how the DA interacted constantly with the police to show how messed up this was. | +1 | +0.459 | pass |
