FOR THE RECORD - June 17, 2009

Movie review websites: An article in Saturday’s Calendar about websites that aggregate movie reviews misstated the percentage and type of positive reviews needed to earn a “certified fresh” rating from Rotten Tomatoes. The story said that the rating is given if a movie gets favorable notices from 60% of the critics it surveys. In fact, for a film to be certified fresh it must be reviewed by 40 or more reviewers, with at least five considered top critics by the website, and 75% or more of the reviews must be positive.
