UPDATE: June 19, 2018, 2:46 p.m. EDT。 Rotten Tomatoes told Mashable in an email that all of the reviews for。 Gotti 。are made by real users. This likely only implies that they weren't posted by bots, not that they're actually legitimate reviews.
。

Critics hated。 Gotti 。and according to box office numbers, the movie was barely seen by anybody in its opening weekend. 。

Yet it's received quite a lot of five-star Rotten Tomatoes reviews in the past couple days from non-critic users. Perhaps a few
。 too many 。five-star reviews.。

This is suspicious, to say the least, and may suggest that the marketing team behind 。 Gotti 。is manipulating the movie's audience score on Rotten Tomatoes with fake accounts showering
。 Gotti
。with undeserved praise.  。

Dan Murrell of Screen Junkies pointed out Monday that。 Gotti。's Rotten Tomatoes audience score was suspect, comparing it to reviews of other recent movies on the site.。

Despite only opening in roughly 500 theaters, Gotti 。 has received more than 6,900 audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, while 。 Incredibles 2。, which opened in about 4,400 theaters (and made about 180 times more money), has received just over 7,600. Those numbers don't really add up. 。

Thanks for signing up!。 A pattern begins to form after a closer look at who is reviewing。Gotti 。 so well. The majority of users who scored the movie a full five stars created their accounts in June and only reviewed。 Gotti 。 and maybe one other movie. Interestingly, a whole bunch of accounts that gave
。 Gotti。

five stars are private. 。

All of these accounts are private.Credit: rotten tomatoes/mashable。 We reached out to Rotten Tomatoes to ask about the reviews of 。Gotti 。

and they told us that "all of the ratings and reviews were left by real users."。

Yeah, sure, "real users." There's no way Rotten Tomatoes could've independently verified that thousands of reviews were legitimate, and while they may all have verified their emails, there's no saying they're real individuals who have seen the movie and loved it. 。 So why exactly could this be happening?So why exactly could this be happening? Well,

Gotti。

got a 0% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which is, obviously, terrible. On Monday, the film's official Twitter account posted a short video saying not to trust critics and instead trust regular moviegoers who say the movie is worth your time and money.  。Tweet may have been deleted
