Abstract: The omnipresence of professional experts in the debates and marketing strategies around movies raises the question of the proximity of their judgments with those of the "ordinary consumer". Two theoretical perspectives compete on this matter: divergence or convergence of tastes. Based on a sample of 622 popular films released between 2005 and 2009 in France, this research confirms the divergence of tastes: professional experts grant no special value to movies that ordinary consumers prefer.

“…Estas decisões tomadas socialmente geram inovação, beleza e emoção (Lawrence & Philips, 2002). Certas características de consumo por grupo, perfis e preferências (Khaire, 2017) dispõem de diferentes papeis na criação artística, como os papeis de consumidores especiais (por exemplo, os fãs) (Morris, 2014) e da crítica (Debenedetti, & Larceneux, 2011;Khaire, 2017;Svejenova, Pedersen & Vives, 2011).
