Why do updates to data or votes for smaller films take weeks while information and user comments for big films are added almost overnight?

0

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.
