"As more critics and audiences contribute their reviews to Rotten Tomatoes, it’s clear that scores need more time to marinate before they populate. That’s why we’re introducing review thresholds: Both the Tomatometer and the Popcornmeter will need to meet a new minimum number of reviews added to RT before movies’ scores will populate. The threshold for each new release will be determined by its total domestic box office forecast provided by an independent outside source.

Rotten Tomatoes scores are and always have been living documents – they fluctuate as critics and audiences continue adding their reviews. Our new thresholds will allow time for critic reviews and verified audience reviews for new releases to be added to Rotten Tomatoes before scores appear on the site."
