IMDb (Internet Movie Database) is the world's most popular and authoritative source for information on movies, TV shows, and celebrities. Hundreds of millions of customers all over the world rely on IMDb to discover and decide what to watch, advance their professional entertainment careers through IMDbPro, and grow their businesses using IMDb data and trending insights.
IMDb publishes weighted vote averages rather than raw data averages. The simplest way to explain it is that although we accept and consider all votes received by users, not all votes have the same impact (or 'weight') on the final rating.
Although, Imdb does not disclose the exact method used to generate ratings to ensure that their rating mechanism remains effective.

Letterboxd is a global social network for grass-roots film discussion and discovery. You can use it as a diary to record and share your opinion about films as you watch them, or just to keep track of films you've seen in the past. You can also showcase your favorites on your profile page. Rate, review and tag films as you add them. Find and follow your friends to see what they're enjoying. Keep a watchlist of films you'd like to see, and create lists/collections on any given topic. We've been described as “like GoodReads for movies”.
The Letterboxd rating system is a 1 - to - 5 star scale, with half-star increments, allowing users to rate films from 0.5 to 5 stars. While the app provides a basic rating, individual users often have their own personal interpretations of what each rating signifies, with 5 stars often reserved for favorites, 2.5 for average, and 0.5 for films with no redeeming qualities.
Finally, Letterboxd uses a weighted average to calculate its official lists, median ratings for each movie and the number one spot for the "Top 250" movies.

CinemaScore is the industry leader in measuring movie appeal. We provide unbiased measurement of audience response that helps gauge movie appeal and success by polling movie audiences on opening night for their reaction to the latest major movie releases.
On opening night around the country, CinemaScore polls moviegoers for their opinions on new movie releases. Audience members fill out ballot cards right at the theatre, grading a movie A to F and providing demographic information. CinemaScore uses this direct balloting approach to establish a movie’s grade—its overall “CinemaScore.”
However, movies that open in less than 1,500 screens are not automatically polled or reported on social media or on the CinemaScore website. If a film opens in less than 1,500 screens, CinemaScore either doesn't poll the film at all or may be contracted privately (by the film’s studio or producers) to conduct a survey.

They rate titles for ages 2 to 18, covering movies, games, books, podcasts, apps, websites, and TV shows.
For each title Common Sense Media reviews, they indicate the youngest appropriate age, based on the media’s specific content and overall developmental guidelines.
Right below their ratings, a list of content categories gives the user in-depth information on each title. Each category is rated on a scale of 0 to 5. If no dots are filled in, that means the content is either not applicable or doesn't rate on their scale. If three dots are highlighted, that means there's a fair amount of that type of content, and five dots indicates that there's lots of it.
