The reveal of Justice League’s Rotten Tomatoes score has been delayed.
Rotten Tomatoes which aggregates review scores for movies, giving each film a subsequent percentage rating and a label of either fresh or rotten, has delayed its Justice League score, pushing it back until a day before the film’s release.
This is likely to raise one or two eyebrows and may indicate that fans should embrace for a less than desirable score.
There is no indication, however, that Warner Bros. had anything to do with the delay, but it’s fair to note that the studio does have an ownership stake in Rotten Tomatoes’ parent company Fandango.
Also noteworthy is that WB has set the review embargo for Justice League to be lifted on November 15th, incredibly close to the film’s release on November 17th.
Even excluding the RT delay, the late embargo lift doesn’t look good for Justice League, especially considering that films in the DCEU have had mixed results with critics, with Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman not faring well at all.
We’ll have two reviews up early tomorrow.
