We're honoring the hottest titles on the Popcornmeter, including Deadpool & Wolverine, Twisters, Inside Out 2, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, It Ends With Us, and more.
At Rotten Tomatoes, we’re continually striving to enhance our recommendation tools for movie and TV fans. We’re excited to introduce a new elevated distinction to our Verified Audience Score: Verified Hot. This new designation will complement our Certified Fresh rating, helping fans not only find films that are widely praised by critics but also discover those beloved by audiences. It’s a win-win!

This includes some of the summer’s hottest titles — like Deadpool & Wolverine, Twisters, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, and It Ends With Us — as well as films that have resonated most with audiences since we launched our Verified Audience Ratings and Reviews in May 2019.
