How do Hiroshi Kusuda's films land?
Their typical MovieCove film has a Midcredits score in the 97th percentile, the median of all 3; across a limited sample of 3 films with reception data, the typical film sits in the 95th percentile for acclaim.
- 75th and up2
- 50th to 74th1
Shape of the crowd
None of their 3 titles divides audiences: 2 are Universally Loved.
- Universally Loved2
- Crowd Pleaser1
Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
