If you’ve bought a ticket for a movie - as opposed to having seen it at a free critics screening - you’re far more likely to have self-selected as a fan already, and thus, you’re far more likely to be into the movie.
There’s also 2016’s Suicide Squad, with a 26 percent score from critics and a 61 percent score from audiences, for a 35-point gap. Critics, however, only liked the film to the tune of a 40 percent score - a 39-point gap. A divide between movie audiences and critics happens all the time - especially with blockbusters.Ĭonsider the recent case of Justice League, which brought together a bunch of big-name superheroes, to the delight of 79 percent of those who saw it and bothered to register their opinion on Rotten Tomatoes.
