Rotten Tomatoes has made a big change to its ratings system
As a seasoned moviegoer who’s seen more films than I can count on my fingers and toes, I must say that Rotten Tomatoes’ new Verified Hot badge is a game-changer! It feels like we, the audience, are finally getting the recognition we deserve in shaping the cinematic landscape.
Rotten Tomatoes has introduced a new badge that will give more power to moviegoers.
The review aggregating platform has revealed a “Verified Hot” badge starting from August 21st, which will signify the general public’s favorable opinions towards a movie. A film must achieve a Verified Audience Score of 90% or higher on its Popcornmeter and meet additional criteria to receive this designation.
Only reviews from users who have purchased a ticket to a specific film via Fandango — also owned by Rotten Tomatoes’ parent company, Comcast — will count towards that title’s Verified Hot rating.
Rotten Tomatoes has given out a new seal of approval for recent movies, such as Marvel’s Deadpool and Wolverine, Twisters, Inside Out 2, It Ends With Us, and over 200 other films, with these titles receiving the badge posthumously.
Beginning from May 2019, when the Audience Score was initially launched, any movie that meets the criteria for qualification will automatically receive the “Verified Hot” title as soon as it is released.
On the site, a “General Good” badge is awarded if 60% or more of reviews for a specific movie receive a rating of 3.5 stars or higher on a scale of 1 to 5. Conversely, a “Stale” badge is given to films that have less than 60% of their reviews scoring this high.
As a long-time movie enthusiast who’s always eagerly awaited Rotten Tomatoes ratings, I must admit that their recent updates have made my film-watching experience even more enjoyable. Previously, it was sometimes confusing to figure out if a movie had enough reviews for both audience and critics’ scores to appear. Now, the website has clearly outlined the required number of reviews, making it much easier for me to make informed decisions about which films to watch. This small change has significantly improved my movie-going experience and reinforces Rotten Tomatoes’ commitment to providing accurate and transparent ratings.
The requirement for the Tomatometer and Popcornmeter scores depends on the anticipated domestic box office earnings from a separate, independent entity. If the movie is estimated to earn over $120 million, it requires 40 reviews for a Tomatometer score and 500 for a Popcornmeter score. However, the number of required critic’s reviews decreases for movies projected to earn between $60-120 million (20 reviews for Tomatometer, 10 for Popcornmeter) and those expected to gross less than $60 million (20 reviews for Tomatometer, 10 for Popcornmeter).
Making this adjustment means that films premiering at festivals will require a total of 10 critical reviews before they can receive a Tomatometer rating.
