The Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score is a reflection of what movie-goers think of a particular film. It is based on the ratings given to a movie by users who are registered on the site. Due to its reliance on the opinions of the public, audience scores can be subject to manipulation. This could occur if a studio, director, actor, or fan notices an unusually low score, then encourages users to flood the website with higher ratings for the same movie. If a studio is actively trying to manipulate the rating of a movie, then it may take longer for the Audience Score to accurately represent the public opinion.
Another possible reason for a lower score could be that the movie may not be well-received among a large group of moviegoers. This could be attributed to several factors, such as bad reviews from critics, shortcomings in the plot, or a lack of notable actors. This could cause fewer moviegoers to be interested in watching the film, resulting in a lower audience score.
