It is natural for popular rankings to be higher due to the influx of art house, international and straight to video releases. Popular rankings are taken from IMDb and are fluid. Most box office data is taken from The Numbers website (domestic)

Scoring b-p

10+ = excellent
9 to -9 = good
-10 to -29 = avg
-30 to -49 = poor
-50 and below = very poor

Example

Tally

Excellent (10pts each) = 12
Good (5pts each) = 11
Average (0pts each) = 6
Poor (-5pts each) = 3
Very poor (-10pts each) = 10
Pop top 20 bonus (5pts each) = 13

(Box data found on more films)

The theme of Pop vs Box is how a film gains or loses popularity compared to its original box office showing and other films released in the same year

Example

58 The Big Country B4 P4

The Big Country was released in 1958 and was 4th in box office showing for that year. The film is currently the 4th most searched for film for all films released in the year 1958.
