Get Out is the exception that proves the rule. It is a smart low budget movie that had good box office numbers, but there are dozens of good movies released this year that will not generate anything like that revenue. How about Columbus, Step, The Big Sick... that's just relatively recent ones I can pick off the list, there are a lot more.
Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB and Metacritic are owned by content distributors/creators, Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes are owned by Comcast/Time Warner, Amazon owns IMDB while CBS owns Meta-critic.
It's no coincidence the accuracy of ratings sites have deteriorated over the past few years, one of the most glaring violations of trust has been Rotten Tomatoes pre-certifying movies as "Fresh" and keeping it so despite aggregated reviews which would contradict a "Fresh" rating. And the even more troubling trend of "Sponsored" movies like Step receiving the certification.
It should come as no surprise the number of newly released Certified Fresh Films is increasing despite the quality of films at the box office decreasing
