Abstract We investigate whether experts' critic reviews affect the US film box office. Considering the huge decentralized dissemination of information by online social networks, the motivation is to verify whether the experts still keep their role as relevant influencers, since consumers have taken a leading role in the dissemination of film quality information on the online forums. For this purpose, we employ discontinuity regression models on experts' assessments using annual information collected from the Rotten Tomatoes and Box Office Mojo websites for 2007-2018 to identify the influence effect.
