If you link your AMC account to Fandango you get the benefits of both services' memberships, as well as access to Fandango's Early Access screenings. There's no good reason not to, especially since Fandango gives you a $5 credit for every 4 tickets you buy.
That's good.
Too bad RT has lost a lot of credibility for me on the critic side of things. Seriously, they accept podcast "reviews" now, despite the fact that they stray off topic and hardly even talk about the film.

Gotta make money first and foremost. If reviews are more representative of reality, then hey neat side effect.
Watch these dipshits just pay for a ticket anyway and not bother to go just so they can keep doing what they're doing.
Also, I await the anti-RT contingent on this board to swarm this thread with more conspiracy theories about how this is being done to placate Disney and keep people from learning the TRUTH about how shit movies like TLJ and Captain Marvel actually are.

....if they purchased their movie ticket on Fandango, the parent of Rotten Tomatoes.
That's just a TAD BIT self-serving.
They'll verify your review if you buy tickets through their parent company?
Uh... no.

Fuck no, they upvoted that and down voted marvel and then said that Alita was better as the audience score was higher.
You can still get free tickets on A-List through Fandango. They should even count towards Fandango rewards.....though who knows how long that loophole will stay open.
You can at least in theory get 4 free A-List tickets and then get the $5 Fandango credit for buying 4 tickets.
I don't think anyone cares what the RT audience vote is.
But this is a decent step forward.
They should just kill audience reviews. We don't need to know what a bunch of dumb rubes think about movies.
This is just their way to serve the social media audience when people are discussing what films are better and for traction etc...
This isn't meant to serve the general public's opinions on a movie.
Hell they do a poor job informing the general audience what the RT % even mean, people think a movie with a 70% rating means the movie is average, when it's not.

My guess would be that it comes down to data access.
They can access customer information from within their own enterprise much easier than trying to get the information from other sites / companies. They could also build a large dataset on their competitors if their competitors allowed them access to something like ticket sales, which would also give them a competitive advantage and that doesn't seem like something any other company would be running to do. So it doesn't really come off as nefarious activity or anything to me.
Good, though Last Jedi and Captain Marvel wouldn't have gotten exponentially higher scores considering they're both mediocre. Regardless of critic scores.
I'd say low 70s for them.

Same. Even if they fix audience scores, there won't be much value in them for me as I much prefer the opinions of critics.
We're shit outta luck. The only opinions that matter are the ones from people that give money to them.
User reviews in general are worthless because no one has to verify if they've seen the movie. Which, surely by complete coincidence equals films like Captain Marvel, The Last Jedi, Black Panther, etc. getting review bombed by racist and sexists,
Facts
Blame the assholes who review bombed TLJ and Captain Marvel, they made it so there had to be restrictions in place.
People are gonna buy tickets just to leave a bad review. I guarantee it. Some people are that kind of stupid.
So they're going to make the movies they hate more income just so they can type 'this movie is too SJW 0 stars #MAGA'?
sounds like a fair trade
