    Hey, so what do you guys think for a format?

    My thought was:

    • Make a thread once a week with upcoming releases that week (maybe highlight ones that are >= 80% on RT in the title)
    • Maybe make a separate thread, like once per day, for ones with >= 80% RT?

    Personally for me, I feel like I would prefer to have separate threads for highly-rated movies; I feel like the generic amalgam of what's-coming-out probably won't be as useful / popular as separate threads for individual good movies that are coming out.

    What do you think?

      Sounds great. There’s a slight issue with different dates in different territories (Coppola’s latest hasn’t got US distribution the last time I checked, for example) or films that get released in festivals long before it appears in cinemas.

      Where are you drawing the data from?

      This sounds like a great plan to me. I definitely don’t want to make separate threads for films that no one is interested in, so hilighting anticipated films is perfect.

      Good question, I hadn’t been thinking about it. For the moment, I just have a look at /r/movies, usually they have 3 threads about the most popular movies, I usually replicate one or two.

      Separate threads for highly-rated movies probably makes sense, but there is for instance a good example with the latest Bad Boys which has 64% Tomatometer vs 97% audience score: www.rottentomatoes.com/m/bad_boys_ride_or_die
