Why do updates to data or votes for smaller films take weeks while information and user comments for big films are added almost overnight?
Updates are performed at regularly scheduled intervals, regardless of a film’s importance. Data sections (i.e. information like the cast/crew of a film) is usually updated on a weekly basis, while user votes are recalculated on a daily schedule. Moreover, user ratings do not appear until a minimum amount of votes has been collected. For obvious reasons, this threshold is reached more quickly with popular films than on less widely-released features. Likewise, it’s easier and quicker for our staff to process and verify data for a major release than for a more obscure film.
