Breitbart Reports: IMDb has claimed to have detected “unusual user voting” for Disney’s new live-action remake of The Little Mermaid and as a result, has switched to an “alternate weighting calculation” in order to artificially boost the movie’s user score.

The Little Mermaid‘s IMDb page currently shows a user rating of 7.0, even though the majority of users gave it a score of 3 or lower out of a possible ten. More than 40 percent of users gave it a score of 1, which is the lowest possible rating.

“Our rating mechanism has detected unusual voting activity on this title. To preserve the reliability of our rating system, an alternate weighting calculation has been applied,” IMDb said.

IMDb, which is owned by Amazon, typically uses some sort of weighted average to calculate a movie’s displayed user rating, but the site keeps that formula under lock and key. “To ensure that our rating mechanism remains effective, we do not disclose the exact method used to generate the rating,” the site states.

It appears that The Little Mermaid‘s weighted average is even more “weighted” than usual.
