Not necessarily, no.
Is it in RT's best interest to admit that their scores can be manipulated so easily?
You seem to be missing the point. Don't worry, a lot of others have too.
Here's the point:
The CinemaScore is an A. The IMDB score is a 7.6 after 205,000 votes.
The RT audience score is a 52% after 149,000 votes.
So does RT just attract a different kind of voter than IMDB and the average audience member polled by the CinemaScore crew? Or is there more to it?
The ONLY outlet reporting something that could be construed as a negative score is the RT audience score. EVERYTHING ELSE is positive.
For the record again, here's what the IMDB voting looks like (and make a note of the fact that IMDB has over 50,000 more votes than RT):
Yes, that's how averages work.
