As the minimum score reveals, the requirements for being Verified Hot are more strict than for being Certified Fresh, possibly because audience scores see more frequent fluctuation. Other requirements for a movie to become Verified Hot include the movie being a theatrical release, which can be either a new first-run release or a repertory release of a classic title, and having a minimum number of verified ratings. Below, see how the type of release affects the minimum threshold of verified ratings for a movie to be considered Verified Hot: Release Type Minimum Verified Ratings Wide Release 500+ Limited Release 250+ Why Rotten Tomatoes Has Changed Its Audience Score To The Popcornmeter Rotten Tomatoes Is Uplifting Their User Base According to the Rotten Tomatoes post explaining the new system, the reason for this audience score overhaul is so they can enhance the conversation surrounding their robust community of movie fans. In an attempt to "elevate that discussion," they have given this increased prominence to the Popcornmeter, which is also what has necessitated tighter strictures involving its proper regulation. Although critics and audiences agree in many cases, this will further highlight the gulf between them in many titles that are commercial successes while being critical flops. This approach from Rotten Tomatoes is in keeping with recent culture trends, as Google recently courted controversy online by prioritizing audience scores over critic scores in searches for movies.

Summary Rotten Tomatoes' audience scores have now become part of the Popcornmeter. Audience scores of 90% and above that meet certain criteria can earn movies Verified Hot badges on the review aggregator site. Movies that are already Verified Hot include Deadpool & Wolverine, Wonka, and Twisters. Rotten Tomatoes has implemented a huge change by adding the Popcornmeter and the Verified Hot badge. The review aggregator website has become a go-to resource for assessing the critical reception to movies and television shows since its inception in 1998. The site compiles official critics' reviews into a single percentage-based score to determine if a movie is Fresh (60% or above) or Rotten (below 60%) on the "Tomatometer," with certain titles that match specific criteria and maintain a score above 75% being deemed Certified Fresh. However, the audience score has also become a bigger and bigger part of the Rotten Tomatoes brand. Because this score is based on user reviews, it is intended to reflect what the general public thinks of the title in question, though the score has in the past been subject to review-bombing, generally for politically-motivated reasons, especially for franchise titles with diverse casts such as Captain Marvel and Disney+'s The Acolyte. To combat this, Rotten Tomatoes has implemented a review verification system to confirm that reviewers have purchased tickets for movies being reviewed through Fandango.

Rotten Tomatoes' Audience Scores Are Now Part Of The Popcornmeter This Rebrand Complements The Tomatometer Custom image by Brennan Klein One major element of the site's major overhaul of its audience score system is rebranding its user reviews section as the Popcornmeter. This newly retitled metric will complement the critical score, which remains known as the Tomatometer, a move which seems to symbolically give the audience score a more equal standing with the critics' ratings. However, this involves much more than just renaming the metric, as it is the biggest major change to

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes, Abigail breathes new life back into the vampire subgenre after numerous critically panned or mixed-reviewed entries. Before Abigail arrived in April 2024, the last two big vampire movies were the critical misfires Renfield and The Last Voyage of the Demeter, both of which also flopped at the box office in 2023. Similarly, smaller vampire movies like Night Teeth (2021), Day Shift (2022), and The Invitation (2022) couldn’t achieve critical acclaim. Going back further, Universal’s 2014 movie Dracula Untold failed to impress critics on a greater scale, currently holding an abysmal 25% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Comes from users trying to sink the rating of the film to dislodge it from the top spot.You’ll see this throughout countless films within the top 100, and I have to ask, doesn’t that completely negate the authenticity of this list? Rotten Tomatoes ScoreMoving on to perhaps the most famous and recognizable audience score metric, the Rotten Tomatoes score system (also called the Tomatometer®) almost overnight went from a fun, gimmicky website to a powerhouse within the film industry.Like IMDb, I don’t personally remember the first time I went to the Rotten Tomatoes website. Still, I remember the first time I saw a Rotten Tomatoes score listed in a television commercial to promote the film. It’s become that powerful of a metric, yet it still feels a bit flawed at its core.Unlike IMDb, which is open to anyone, Rotten Tomatoes divides its scores into its Tomatometer (which is “based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics”) and an Audience Score (which is cast by users who can verify that they bought a ticket to the film).Originally, the critical Tomatometer was the dominant score metric in the film industry (and perhaps still is today). It does a good job of sifting through recognized critics across the world to get somewhat of a consensus.Yet, in recent years, the idea of critics being the true gatekeepers of what defines a film as “good” or “bad” has come under scrutiny more and more, and the Audience Score has become a necessary tool to offer more of a counterbalanced and holistic decider of a film’s success.Like IMDb, you’ll often see users organizing a suggested coup of a film’s audience rating through a method called “review bombing.” This is where countless internet users rate the film poorly the moment the audience scores go
