Specific details about what you are trying to do: 

Dear Imdb,
I am director of the film, 'Road to the Moon' (Aydede). 
Now I checked the user ratings and I saw that, the score was 6,6. 
But when we calculate, it must be 7,8 or 7,9. 
Can you please correct the calculation and send me an email : aoner@buharfilm.com

Thanks a lot, All the best,
Abdurrahman.

Hi Abdurrahman,

The overall title rating of a movie is neither an average nor a median of the given user ratings. IMDb has never disclosed the computing, which (my own guess) takes into consideration the reliability and seniority of the raters and lowers the impact of excessive rates (1s and 10s).

And IMDb will not send you an email, but use this forum to communicate, should need be.

(disclaimer: I am not affiliated to IMDb, just a contributor with a fair experience of IMDb).

Simple answer from the link above
I don’t agree with the IMDb rating. Is your system broken?

The rating displayed is correct, as based on the calculations used to generate all ratings for all titles in the database. Please remember that the rating is weighted. We do not simply calculate the average by adding up all the votes and dividing the total by the number of votes.
