Rotten Tomatoes Ratings Details
Rotten Tomatoes Critic Ratings
(Tomatometer)
• The Tomatometer rating provides an overall
percentage rating based on the number of
approved Tomatometer critics who recommend
a certain movie. The percentage rating is
calculated by dividing the number of good Rotten
Tomatoes critical reviews by the total number of
Rotten Tomatoes critical reviews.
•
•
Users can quickly determine whether a movie
was generally liked or disliked by critics.
Indicated by a red tomato icon, a “fresh” movie
has achieved a Tomatometer rating of at least
60%. A green splattered tomato icon means a
movie is “rotten,” having a rating lower
than 60%.
•
Approved Tomatometer critics meet a
set of established standards, mostly from
accredited media outlets and online film
societies. Learn more about the standards that
Tomatometer critics must meet at http://www.
RottenTomatoes.com/help_desk/critics.php.
Rotten Tomatoes Audience Ratings
(Popcorn Bucket)
• An overall percentage based on the average star
rating assigned by Rotten Tomatoes users is
applied to give each movie an audience rating.
•
Popcorn icons – full buckets for movies with an
average of 3.5 stars or higher, spilled buckets for
movies with an average below 3.5 stars – make
it easy for users to see if a movie was generally
liked or disliked by audiences.
A key quality indicator is a “Certified Fresh
Logo,” which is given to theatrical releases
reviewed by 40 or more critics, including five top
critics, achieving a steady Tomatometer rating
of 75% or higher. A film remains Certified Fresh
unless its Tomatometer rating falls below 70%.
With the Rotten Tomatoes ratings systems, your customers can make informed content decisions quickly.
