Would you support setting movie ticket prices according to critic scores?

To discourage studios from making shitty cash cow movies.
You would start with a standard ticket price, and the actual price of the movie ticket would then be the average critic rating as a percentage value.
For example, the current ticket price for the latest DC disaster “Suicide Squad” is 11€.
Based on its Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 26%, the ticket price would therefore be set at 2.86€
I think this could be brilliant, because it would ensure that bad movies are certain to flop financially, forcing studios to actually care about quality.
Also, what safeguards would be required to prevent studios from buying positive reviews from critics?
