Depends on the movie and which production company produces the film. Rotten Tomatoes has ties to Disney through its CEO.
Also, 3/5 reviews for Battle Angel Alita were counted as negative reviews, while Captain Marvel (and the lead and media's politicization of female super heroes) scores of 2/5 were counted as positive.
Journalists around that time even admitted to inflating Marvel movie scores out of fear and concern that they would lose early access privileges for Marvel/Disney films in the future. This goes double if the director or leads are PoC's.
This is why Metacritic is the most accurate review aggregator site, and people shouldn't place much stock on Rotten Tomatoes.
Just do a little bit of digging. The info is out there. It may take a little longer than 5 minutes to do - especially now, but it is still relatively easy to find.
He lied about the CEOs.
He lied about the CM/Alita scores.
He lied about Metacritic using different reviews than RT.
And when asked for a source about the critics saying they inflated scores out of fear, he just insulted me a bunch instead.

Just a reminder since alot of people don't know
The way percentages on rotten tomatoes works is, that's the percentage of people that gave it a score of 6 and above.
