How this film scores

Draw0

No worldwide gross on file, so Draw is zero. A gap in the data, not a verdict.

How Draw works

Inflation-adjusted worldwide box office, on one global curve, and nothing else. It does not know whether a film was good.

Praise85

Awards claim half the headroom above the critics' score.

Critics85 baseAwards0 signal → +0 lift

No award rows on file, usually missing data rather than missing honours. Wikidata is thin for older and non-English films.

How Praise works

Critics set the score; a tiered award record, Picture and Directing carrying the most weight, claims half the headroom above it. Praise is the verdict at the time; Legacy is the verdict since.

Legacy55

Not judged yet, so Legacy falls back to footprint: how many still rate it, how highly, and for how long.

How Legacy works

Canon list membership, reach (Wikipedia traffic above IMDb votes) and time served. Every signal behind it keeps updating, which is what separates Legacy from Praise.

How the three become one number

Added, not multiplied, so a film transcendent on one pillar and weak on another is not zeroed out. A compression curve then squeezes the top, because the seven greatest films ever made should not be four thousand feet apart.
