Using box office ticket sales data, Metacritic scores and user votes from IMDB, I've created a formula that combines popular demand with opinion ratings. The result is a chart that includes quality films (which can only rank highly if they do well in theaters) and seat-fillers (which can only stick around on the chart if they get good reviews).

In other words, these are the films that in the past week have succeeded in enjoying the most positive attention from both critics and audiences.

Average Sales per Theater (10 Points): This number is taken by simply dividing the Average Sales per Theater figure by 1000. Films that exceed an average of $10,000 are assigned the maximum 10 points. Also, films that do not earn more than $1,000 per theater do not qualify for the buzz chart.

Metacritic Score (10 Points): The film's Metacritic score divided by 10.

IMDb Score (10 Points): The film's IMDb score.

Box Office Rank (6 Points): The #1 ranked movie in total box office sales receives 6 points. #2 gets 5.9 points. #3 get 5.8. The pattern continues all the way to #60, which receives 0.1 points.
