Studios have recently blamed poor reviews on movies that flopped.
But a movie like paddington 2 with 100% fresh are underperforming, while greatest showman with 55% rotten are overperforming.

Some people worship it like the Bible.
I couldn't care less.

Honestly, yeah. If 90% of critics like something, I'm more inclined to see it. The opposite is true as well. Doesn't mean I always agree, mind you. I've discovered some gems because of RT (Cabin in the Woods) as well as some where I thought "what were they thinking?" (Barbershop 3).

If I learn about a film that piques my interest, I'll have a look at its Wikipedia page for a brief plot summary and a general sense of how it was received (which often includes a Rotten Tomatoes review). If it's got a very poor score, I'll probably avoid it.
But this is only for films that are freely available to me.

No I don't think the casual film goer even checks with what the critics are saying about certain films.
And after being duped multiple times by RT ratings , I've been checking out that site less and less these days. I'm convinced some of the studios pay off some of the film critics.

I think to a degree it does as with anything else.

Honestly I think I the only time most care about Rotten Tomatoes or similar sights is when they can use the scores as opinion validation. Otherwise, I consider the impact on actual viewership minimal.

yes, definitely--but the Audience Score is more important than the critics score

Nope. Critic reviews have never had any significant impact on box office performance. Most moviegoers don't even read movie reviews, nor do they care to. It's word-of-mouth, marketing/advertising, and movie trailers that play a role in BO performance. Look at the Transformers series for example. Each film got terrible reviews from critics, but did $1 billion worldwide.

I never pay attention to it. Right or wrong, I still go by imdb ratings.

I would imagine it does have some influence on what some people see.
me personally, I pretty much see what I want to see. only time places like IMDb can influence me for or against seeing a movie is if I am on the edge of seeing it or not seeing it in the first place, which does not happen all that often for me.
p.s. I voted for YES in the poll as I honestly think sites like Rotten Tomatoes do have some influence with at least some people out there even though I suspect many don't pay too much attention to what reviewers say etc and see what they want to see regardless of reviews etc.
