Hollywood blames terrible reviews for people not going to see terrible movies

There’s got to be a word for this in the urban dictionary someplace, but darned if I can locate it. It’s probably some sort of “transference” phenomenon in the psychiatric sphere. So what do you call it when you produce a product which is awful and you blame its poor reception on the people who all agree that it’s awful? When you find the correct terminology for that you can apply it to the Hollywood moguls who were responsible for the production of the most recent Pirates of the Caribbean film and that long awaited (/sarc) Baywatch flick. That’s because they both tanked at the box office but insiders say that the only reason the ticket sales were so poor is that the movies received bad reviews. (Daily Beast)
