Letterboxd and Metacritic Scores in Popcorn 1.4.2

Popcorn 1.4.2 is on the Chrome Web Store. Posters can now show Letterboxd and Metacritic next to the IMDb rating and both Rotten Tomatoes scores.

A score appears only when Popcorn has it. The Lord of the Rings on Netflix shows all six. Mirzapur: The Movie on Prime Video shows Letterboxd and no Metacritic line. Many series posters still show IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes only. Popcorn does not guess.

Where the scores show up

On a browse row and in a hover card, each score is a ring. Yellow is IMDb, out of 10. Red is the Tomatometer. White is the Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score. Blue is Letterboxd, out of 5. Green is the Metacritic Metascore, out of 100. Mint is the Metacritic user score, out of 10.

The Lord of the Rings on Netflix with IMDb 8.9, Tomatometer 91 percent, Audience 95 percent, Letterboxd 4.39, Metacritic 92 and user score 9.3

Filters and which scores to show

The on-page assistant and the toolbar popup can fade titles below a minimum you set for IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes critics, the Audience Score, Letterboxd, the Metascore, or the Metacritic user score. Titles without a score stay visible. You can also turn any of those sources off.

The same overlays work on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, JioHotstar, Apple TV+, HBO Max, ZEE5, MX Player and Hulu. Guides: Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar, ZEE5 and Apple TV+.

How this changes the comparison

An earlier post said Popcorn did not show Metacritic. That was true for 1.4.0. It is not true for 1.4.2. The comparison now says so. The other extensions in that table are still described from their Chrome Web Store listings on 17 October 2026.

IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes still answer different questions. Why those two disagree has not changed. Letterboxd and Metacritic are two more answers, not a replacement.
