If there's something to it, sounds like a hot story. Plus, it's free adv for the film either way. If you see a news story about it, give us a link
I'm no fan of disney or Cap Marvel, but it looks like the film is doing fairly well, wiki shows close to $600m worldwide already on the mild budget of $175m... but it also reads an ad budet of $300m, and they'll need $750m worldwide to break even. Breaking even is fine for the movie makers, but not great for investors.
Wiki includes this about the RT 'want to see' issue:

Ahead of the film's release, Captain Marvel's "Want to See" score—an audience anticipation poll on Rotten Tomatoes—had fallen to 28%.[169] Reports described the decline as an effort by some to review-bomb the film's page with negative comments attacking the film and Larson for their perceived feminism.[170] Rotten Tomatoes changed the "Want to See" feature shortly after, showing only the number of people indicating interest in the film instead of a percentage. The announcement said this was part of a larger redesign of the site.[171][169] By 8 am on opening day in the United States, the film held a 33% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes from more than 58,000 reviews, which was more audience reviews than Avengers: Infinity War had during its entire theatrical run. Analysts attributed the low score and sheer number of reviews to online trolling. Rotten Tomatoes later stated a bug was responsible for the high count of reviews, and by 1 pm the number of counted ratings was down to 7,000 with an audience score of 35%.[172] As of March 15, 2019, the audience score was at 62% based on 66,928 reviews.[158]
