Rotten Ketchup par Frenworld

See the audience Rotten Tomatoes doesn't want you to.

As u/RoryTate discovered here, Rotten Tomatoes' Popcornmeter is sold as the audience score, but most of it is made up of "verified" ticket-buying votes that the site heavily weights and labels prominently. Rotten Ketchup adds a third column to the movie scorecard: The Censored score, computed from the unverified (non-ticket) votes that RT's verified-ticket scoring suppresses.

How it works

• The Popcornmeter's headline number is built from two pools of votes: an all-audience count and a smaller verified count.
• Rotten Ketchup subtracts the verified votes from the all-audience votes to get the unverified pool, then computes what the "Pull" (independent) score would have been if verified-ticket weighting didn't exist.
• That Pull score is rendered as a third column next to the existing Tomatometer and Popcornmeter, so you can compare them at a glance.

Example

On The Odyssey (2026), the Popcornmeter shows 97% with "10,000+ Verified Ratings". Rotten Ketchup reveals the unverified pool behind those numbers: ~61% from 1,487 unverified reviews (901 likes out of 1,487) as of the time of writing.

When a movie has no unverified votes yet, the third column shows a muted — / "No independent votes yet" so you know the column is empty rather than broken.
