I think RT scores really are starting to play somewhat more of a role in whether general audience members think a movie is worth their time. My brother who I've never heard mention a movie's critical reception before brough up didn't it get like an 18 on RT when discussing checking out Power Rangers (I corrected him it was more in the 40s) on digitial this weekend. Also after I saw The Mummy my dad asked me how it was because he wanted to see it but changed his mind after hearing it got horrible reviews. I mean people wonder why superhero and animated movies are the ones killing it this summer, look at their reviews compared to the rest. With only one exception (and it's audience reception is terrible) the only fresh movies on RT right now in the top 10 are either animated, superhero, or a combination of the two and with DM3 and Homecoming that trend will stay for a couple more weeks (although I'm happy for Baby Driver).
