The formula for calculating the Top Rated Titles gives a true Bayesian estimate:

 weighted rating (WR) = (v ÷ (v+m)) × R + (m ÷ (v+m)) × C where:  R = average for the movie (mean) = (Rating)  v = number of votes for the movie = (votes)  m = minimum votes required to be listed in the Top  (currently )  C = the mean vote across the whole report (currently )
