Ticket window movie ratings

After you watch a movie at the movie theater, you should be able to give it a score and/or write a quick one-sentence review at a kiosk (!) in the movie theater. The scores and quick reviews can be displayed along with the movie times on the board above the ticket window.

This would be helpful for the people who show up to the movie theater either with no idea what they want to see or if they are trying to decide between a few different movies and they haven't read the reviews online or in the paper.

For movie theaters, it could be a measurement aside from ticket sales to help determine how many screens and showtimes to devote to a movie. If there is a movie with a high rating but not many ticket sales, they might be more inclined to keep it but only for few showtimes.

For movie studios, it could help determine what type of films are popular in different cities or regions.

I was thinking this could be good for Rotten Tomatoes. To have a kiosk. Movies that aren't screened for critics because the studio knows they'll get a bad rating can get some quick feedback so people will buyer beware or whatever the opposite of that is.
