That's only because Disney paid RT to remove anything under three stars. The rating now doesn't matter anymore. The only thing that matters is that it opened at 32%, and everyone knows that's the real rating. My teen-aged niece has already figured out those sites can't be trusted much due to studio influence and social media campaigns. On the old IMDB GoT boards we'd post links to the sites which would generate hundreds or thousands of votes where you wanted them for a modest fee and evidence of 500+ zero or ten appearing nearly instantaneously on shows which had been out for years but became controversial to some political faction.
The guys on the Dark Knight Rises board used to organize raids on the Marvel boards & brag about how many sock accounts they had. Every so often someone would post hey, I found an old sock password so I can vote this or that down or up.

Yeah, there was a lot of that on the GoT board too, but from what I saw many used their socks just for gaslighting, jacking around other posters and 'moderating' the board with reports. What I was talking about was more on an industrial scale, people would provide evidence by posting links to sites where you could buy 500 votes for $19.99 and such, not just the IMDB site either.

Yes there is. Boxoffice Mojo, Deadline, Hollywood Reporter, Variety ... etc. You're really batting a zero today, Ace. Those are websites. So basically, you admit that all the major movie websites refer to Cinemascore thereby making it very relevant. More so now that we know the extent to which online audience scoring is being manipulated, prior to anyone even seeing the movie. Captain Marvel Cinemascore: A A real score, by real people, who really saw the movie.

Isn't that the thing where they force people as they're just tryna get the hell out of the theater to rate the movie in person, thus making everyone feel awkward as hell and prone to saying what they think they're supposed to say so they can just leave, thus invariably skewing it positive every time and cited only as the absolute last refuge of defenders when literally every other metric says a movie is dogshit? Cinemascore is less than worthless. Go watch the Patriots.

Exactly. Nobody does now that RT has artificially boosted the score. Everyone knows the REAL score is 32%.

You can't trap people in a room and then call their "escape scores" an achievement. Well, you could, if you're the sort of person so empty inside and so desperate for personal meaning that you'd seriously and unironically cheer for the Patriots.

Keep trying, cupcake. They're all trapped. And everyone knows it. Look, it's 2019: it's a new dawn. The only score that truly matters is the v2 average, and CM currently has a 4.1/10. (Thanks for updating my calculations earlier, DC-Fan.) How's that feel?
