Is defiance of RT scores the best way to break into CD?

This forum's reflexive dislike of RT mostly stems from a time when well-reasoned arguments for why a film is good/bad were met with posts that essentially amounted to "the RT score disagrees with you, so you're wrong", which isn't very conductive to a good discussion for obvious reasons. If you want to use aggregator sites to determine whether a film is worth watching or to gauge the general reaction to a release, then by all means, but they're not a particularly worthwhile debate subject unless you're interested in the economic perspective on film-making.

How's that go? Are some contract bonuses tied to rotten tomato score, like some video game salaries are based on metacritic scores? It's a terrible practice.

I don't know about that, but I doubt it. I was thinking more about the potential relationship between aggregated score and box office earnings, i.e. do positive reviews actually contribute to a film's commercial success?
