Use the reduce Method to Analyze Data - Appending decimals

I am trying to solve this problem a piece at a time with the following:
(Credit to pseudospencer for his approach to the problem. )

// create a list of Christopher Nolan movies
let CNmovies = watchList.filter(movie => movie.Director == “Christopher Nolan”);

// reduce to the sum of all of his movie ratings
let allRatingsSummed = CNmovies.reduce((acc, movie) => acc + parseFloat(movie.imdbRating));

But this is resulting in allRatingsSummed looking like this in the console:
object Object]8.698.3

I’m getting the imdbRatings appended to each other rather than summed. (???) And the first movie object seems to be missing altogether. But if I could just get the ratings to be treated as numbers, I would be happy for now. Note: I have tried both using the parseFloat() and Number() functions to convert the rating to a number.

Does anyone see what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks!

Thank you!! That was really twisting my noodle. All I had to do was give the initialize value. The parseFloat was converting the string just fine. It was an object being in the first argument that was messing up my math.
