The rule, as I've been told it (rule is the wrong word, as it's not always true, but for lack of a better word) is that...

also there is the mtc/rs corollary which states "whenever someone posts about the mtc/rs rule, someone will ask what the mtc/rs rule is"

Last time it was posted I was the one who asked, so maybe we can add that the one who just got it answered will be the one to explain next.

Nothing's perfect, but the RS/MTC rule has been spectacularly wrong only a few times this year, which is a better record than most other

If MTC is well above RS, then the movie wil perform above even MTC. If MTC well less than RS the movie will perform even lower than MTC.

Couple of clarification questions on this: 1. What do we consider "well" above or below? 2.What % of the time would people say this "works?"

That's a grey area but I go with 25%

Thanks. Just one more clarification, with that number are you saying 25% more or less when it comes to the predictions (like a 50M

25% is the answer for question 1. :-)

Yes. Using the predictions for PNAC3 as an example, MTC was 38, RS was 30. RS*1.25=37.5<MTC

And to your second question (earlier) - it picks the direction of the adjust 65% of the time, up there with other strong predictors
