When I see...

"Down 12% in popularity this week."

... prominently featured at the top of a page for a movie, I often just get a negative feeling. Even though this stat is completely irrelevant to me, it's like encountering a naysayer. There are times I ignore it, but other times I hit the back button or click on a different browser tab.

Suggestion - only include this info if the popularity is UP.

It seems to me that just posting the rises in popularity and ignoring the drops turns this line from data to cheerleading.

I feel that if IMDb is going to publish the good news for a title, it also has a duty to publish the less good.
