Limiting myself to just the average Rotten Tomatoes scores of $100 million budget movies, I found a much wider range from year to year — and that 2016 is, thus far, the second worst summer in a decade.
So next I wondered what would happen if I compared the Rotten Tomatoes scores of just the “real” summer movies, the ones with budgets of at least $100 million?
If those movies deliver the way summer movies are supposed to, the year could still be redeemed.
And in fact, 2016’s average Rotten Tomatoes score is the highest of the bunch.
