Do you trust a reported audience score for a movie from a powerful production company?
Clearly the original intention of reporting scores was to provide an estimate of how well audiences liked the movie. But we have franchise destroying Star Wars movies that have high scores.

Last Jedi has like a 45% audience score. Did Disney just forget to rig that one?
Posted on 7/1/23 at 6:29 pm to TotesMcGotes
But what was the audience score the day after it released? You do know they change right?
Posted on 7/1/23 at 6:32 pm to Madking
It started out at about 55% and went down from there.

Again why do people care so much. We get it. You’re not going to see it. You already hate it. Enjoy

I have tickets for tomorrow :)

Ok so TFA dropped 5% from opening day until now, TLJ dropped 11% then curiously TROS has stayed exactly the same even though the movies dropped in earnings by 50%. It appears paid reviews are being used to stabilize their decline in popularity.

It’s a movie/tv board so it’s pretty self explanatory.

Don't you believe that's still an upwardly rigged number? Even poor Daisy Ridley couldn't pretend to like it after watching with her family.
We're having a silly discussion aren't we? You can't really think the Flash, New Mermaid, or new Indy movie are positively viewed by audiences right?
Because they should be massively profitable if they were just above average.

So Disney buys critics (except when the RT score that everyone cares about is low. They forgot to buy those).
Then Disney is cheating the verified audience score.
Is it possible that people disliked Last Jedi so much that they didn’t go see Rise of Skywalker? And those who went to see it (and contributed to the score) were the fans who actually cared enough to see it? ROS has roughly half the viewer reviews that Last Jedi has.

Your argument has been awful from the beginning. Financial success doesn’t mean a film is good. Good reviews don’t mean a film will be a financial success.
Posted on 7/1/23 at 7:01 pm to TotesMcGotes
Well it was trending in one direction then it stopped and the reasons movies “have legs” is through word of mouth so if everyone who went actually liked Rise of Skywalker it would’ve performed better at the box office. It did $177million for its opening weekend then dropped like a stone. That’s the opposite of what happens in the scenario you described.
Posted on 7/1/23 at 7:03 pm to Madking
lmao word of mouth was never, ever saving that film considering how mad the core fan base was.
What’s the next goalpost shift?

There’s no goalpost shift, you’re contradicting yourself and the facts. If the movie was DOA how did it have such a huge opening?
Posted on 7/1/23 at 7:08 pm to Madking
I never said it was DOA. I’m saying the most passionate people didn’t go see it.
ROS’ opening weekend was about 20% less than Last Jedi.

Now you’re phrase parsing and making things up that you can’t account for (“most passionate people”). You’re the one stuck on “audience score” but in this case you can’t defend it so you’re grasping at straws that don’t align with the data.

Brother, if you don’t think the loudest fans weren’t furious at Last Jedi and vocally swore off the franchise, you must not have been on the internet at the time.
Surely, the only possible explanation is that studios are cheating the reviews (except for when the reviews suck. No explanation there).

Well when websites like IMB and Rotten tomatoes admit to altering their rating systems, for Disney no less, and how easy it is to create fake accounts to flood them with reviews, pretending it doesn’t happen seems like you’re in denial. Especially when the movies trends are a complete anomaly.
Posted on 7/1/23 at 7:28 pm to Madking
Link to them altering their review system for Disney?
If anything, their changes from “want to see” to the verified audience score would make it more difficult to review bomb.

Your anecdotal logic doesn’t hold. The original Star Wars fans range from 70-45 not 25-40 like you believe. I’m in the original demographic and I can tell you that every fan I know took our kids to see every prequel on opening night even though the adults hated TFA. So these “core fans” did go watch it, you just don’t realize who the actual core fans are because you think they’re all YouTube geeks….
As far as rating adjustments

And there are tons of other articles about this plus they were altered again recently but I can’t remember which film prompted it a second time.
