There has still been no official reason given for the removal.
It's important to note that this almost certainly wasn't done because of low numbers. Rather, the choice was almost certainly more linked to the review-bombing and an intense number of bad-faith, inaccurate posts.
People who thought a shit movie was shit = bad faith, inaccurate posts.
The entire point of a review is for a person to give their opinion of the movie, as critic scores have been hilariously unreliable and almost always at ends with user scores they must now “fix” the bad reviews.
Completely removing the audience score from a project is an unprecedented move by Rotten Tomatoes. The closest thing to it was when the site excised a majority of Captain Marvel's view ratings, with its reasoning being that it "identified a bug in the post-release functionality."
Yes, the bug of a massive flop, just like this turd
There's no such thing as review bombing. If people shit on a product because they hate the creator, that is a valid (if often stupid) review. If people can't even stand the look of the trailer to bother watching it, that is also a valid review.
One thing that cracks me up about these race swapped films is that they can't even bother to get good looking negros and asians. Ariel looks like a cow and tinkerbell looks like a crack head. Eww.
Generally, "review bombing" means leaving a negative review without consuming product to any degree whatsoever.
Someone who watches a movie, decides it sucks 15 minutes in, and leaves a bad review isn't review bombing. Someone who sees that people hate something on Twitter and decides to give it a bad review without knowing anything about it is review bombing.
The Cleopatra thing is borderline. I know for a fact it's racist garbage without needing to see it. The trailers, the creator, the lead actress, they've all let me know just how unwatchably shitty it is. So to watch even five minutes would be unnecessary. I already have all the information I need.
The real issue is that most people cannot differentiate between "I know it will be bad" and "I've been told it's bad and will uncritically parrot that opinion".
This is actually a HUGELY controversial thing in the book community.
Like are you allowed to rate/review a book if you haven't read the whole thing? I have been told that you are not allowed to say you dislike a book if you haven't read the whole entire series. Not even kidding.
Which is a pants on retarded take from them. If the first 20-50 pages of a book are complete ass why would the rest of the book or series be different or why would I have to keep reading it in the hope it gets better?
It's a same take I see when games are bad and review bad and people cry out "But but the developers will be out of work!!", like that's reality everywhere. If you're a shitty cook or welder or whatever, you need to find a new job.

A person who walks out of a movie 20 minutes in has an opinion worth sharing.

I've also been told I can't have an opinion on ASoIaF because it isn't done yet.
Insane.
Tell those people "I have a book I'd love your opinion on, then."
And give them a word doc with 999 pages of Lorem Ipsum. With a copy-pasted famous poem or two sprinkled in random spots in the same formatting.
If they call you on Lorem Ipsum text, accuse them of reviewing without reading the whole thing and being hypocrites.
