Rotten Tomatoes Introduces a New Audience Rating for People Who Actually Bought a Ticket

Rotten Tomatoes has introduced a new audience rating called Verified Hot that filters users who can be confirmed to have bought a movie ticket.

Rotten Tomatoes and Fandango today though are rolling out a new rating that could address that and give truly popular movies a much needed word-of-mouth boost. So far, Rotten Tomatoes says movies from this summer that have qualified for the new honor include “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Deadpool & Wolverine,” “Twisters,” “It Ends With Us,” and more. Rotten Tomatoes made some other tweaks too under the hood: Both the Popcornmeter and Tomatometer need to meet a new minimum number of reviews published for a score to appear.
