I think the “verified audience” are people who bought tickets through Fandango. So, either they were the kind of people who wanted to see and like it or they bought tickets but didn’t actually go and are astroturfing.
Either way, the high ratings are definitely bullshit.
The purpose of the audience rating is “how people who thought they would like the movie thought of it” which is approximated via the verified views thing. So this makes sense.
