Anime getting lower scores originally when premiered in Japan but get higher score later?

Ive noticed a lot recently that when anime have special screenings and premieres in Japan, they tend to get lower scores on MAL, but when they officially air later on, the score sky rockets and the episode/movie gets higher praise? Im curious as to why this happens because I also saw the same with Suzume and One piece Film red which was shown before its worldwide release and originally had low ratings and scores but got better reception when released in America, Australia etc.

Oshi No Ko had a score under 8 on MAL and when its first episode officially aired got 9.30

e.　MAL community data
e.g.　Questioning the score/ranking/character favorite counts
e.g.　Saying that series X should have a higher/lower score/count
e.g.　Specific reviews, moderation of data/community content/reviews, etc.
