I wanna know what those outlier big blue dots are. Big differences between Audience score and Tomato score.

The two giant ones in the upper right quadrant are Avatar and Avengers: Endgame, respectively, if that's what you mean. I was trying to make it interactive at one point so you could hover over a dot for movie title, but I'm just a hobbyist and I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I'd be happy to post the full csv at some point though so people can look up individual titles.

He said what are the outliers with a big difference between audience and tomato score. It seems like you just focused on “big blue dots” and posted a link to a list. I’d also like to know, thanks

Ran it through a Perl script and these are the top ten differences:

​

Title audience score tomato meter
The Battle at Lake Changjin 100 36
Dolittle 76 15
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil 95 39
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry 69 14
Bad Boys II 78 23
Gone in 60 Seconds 77 25
Patch Adams 73 22
Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls 72 21
Grown Ups 62 11
Venom 2018 80 29

Data: rottentomatoes.com and boxofficemojo.com/chart/top_lifetime_gross/?area=XWW as of 12/20/22. Movies with fewer than 50 ratings in either category not shown. Data compiled and plotted using R tidyverse and ggplot2.

Good data, but I hate that the top four are inverted.

Cool! Can someone smarter than me tell me how much those correlate based on the chart?

It looks like very few mistakes are made when choosing a high ranked movie on Rotten Tomatoes as big ranked movies there mean big box office earnings. Also, only a few low ranked movies on RTomatoes had a big box office earning.

I wonder if the box office earnings are adjusted for inflation.

A movie that sold a million tickets in 1982, and a movie that sold a million tickets in 2020 each sold a million tickets, but the 2020 movie's box office earnings will be significantly larger.

The data set I used in this case is not adjusted, if it were the list would be quite different (Gone with the Wind and A New Hope would still be at the top by a lot), so that would be an interesting one to run through at some point.

Is this an interactive model that can be published?
