Not really surprising, this is just confirmation of what's been apparent for a while - Audience score is an accurate estimate of the movie, and the tomatometer (the critic score) basically just reflects the political correctness / marketing budget of the movie.

For me the critic score is a 'is this valuable as a cultural enrichment of movies' vs 'do people like it'.

What you do with information is than your decision.

Best case you know and trust your critics because you align to a certain degree with their experience and movie taste.

For example "now you see me" is a shit movie. Magic in a movie doesn't work and the main hidden character basically breaks the whole movie but apparently the audience loved it.

The Last Jedi is apparently the cultural enrichment film of the decade.

Rotten tomatoes scores aren't an average of a bunch of vectors, they're an aggregation of binary data points. Each individual review is distilled down to "good" (100%) or "rotten" (0%), then they're all averaged up.

A better way to view the critic score is, "X% of film critics think this film is worth watching."

And the audience score is: "Y% of moviegoers who leave movie reviews on Rotten Tomatoes think this film is worth watching."

This is why Toy Story can get 99% (it's a crowd pleaser), and why daring, impactful films can sometimes get lower scores (they can be polarizing).
