I created a dummy table for this and used your select statement:
mysql> SELECT titleid, (AVG(rating) / COUNT(titleid)) AS weighted
-> FROM movieratings
-> GROUP BY titleid;
+---------+----------+
| titleid | weighted |
+---------+----------+
| 1 | 0.288000 |
| 9 | 0.072748 |
| 19 | 1.250000 |
| 21 | 1.800000 |
| 31 | 8.000000 |
| 199 | 1.000000 |
I think I put my slow brain in today...should I be using an order by?
Here's the same data showing the number of votes:
+---------+-------+----------+
| titleid | votes | weighted |
+---------+-------+----------+
| 1 | 25 | 0.288000 |
| 9 | 99 | 0.072748 |
| 19 | 8 | 1.250000 |
| 21 | 5 | 1.800000 |
| 31 | 1 | 8.000000 |
| 199 | 10 | 1.000000 |
+---------+-------+----------+

Yes, you should use an order by, ORDER BY weighted
