Gotti Film Accused of Faking Audience Reviews
Okay, I’ll just come out and say it. Some party involved with Gotti artificially manipulated the audience scores and they’re now using it as a marketing strategy. The numbers don’t make sense. Even if that weren’t true, this is a divisive & desperate way to sell a film. https://t.co/Q5jznjNRSx

The recently released Gotti Film might be inflating its Rotten Tomatoes audience score. There are a lot of brand new accounts that have only reviewed Gotti. They've gotten called out by a few people, including Dan Murrell, a producer of Honest Trailers.
Rotten Tomatoes had to release a statement about defending the numbers.
I'm also covering this on today's Charting, but I think this is really interesting (THREAD). Here's the head of marketing for Gotti defending the movie by citing its high user rating on Rotten Tomatoes. He's right - the rating is very high. But it's a very suspicious number.pic.twitter.com/bYElktvJfK

Gotti has MORE user ratings than Ocean's 8. Again, a movie that has done MUCH more business, opened in more theaters, and has been out a week longer. pic.twitter.com/SjqE9jFCf1

Rotten Tomatoes says there's nothing weird about Gotti's dubious audience scorehttps://t.co/kzbjZzrkBf pic.twitter.com/f6FZmbnq8z

That moment when you ask for an apology and get dragged instead. It's worth reading the whole thread.
Rotten Tomatoes said the accounts were real people. That proves they aren’t bots. I never said they were bots. They’re real people. Who registered accounts this month. And only reviewed Gotti. And gave it 5 stars. You want to go to the mattresses? Let’s go to the mattresses. https://t.co/xVP82MvYtz
