How has the score changed?
| Snapshot | Tomatometer | Average score |

The review pool grew between the two snapshots, so the percentages describe different sets of reviews rather than conflicting readings of an unchanged set. Rotten Tomatoes’ current page also lists a 78% Popcornmeter from 1,000+ ratings; that audience score is separate from the critics’ Tomatometer.
