SS, lordy lord, of course you are aware that you can estimate tweet-rate for topics that aren't trending in the world wide top 10?
You just make customized searches and monitor the number of tweets within a given period of time.. 
I used Twitter to decide to go long on The Last Song. I should've used it to short Clash of the Titans as well, as that one never trended, and a movie that big should've. (It also didn't have too awesome a tweet-rate in general.. )
LATIMES: HP Labs in Palo Alto claims it has reached as high as 97.3% accuracy in box office projections off of Twitter Apr 04, 00:17
yeah but is Twitter studio-plant--proof? {nm} Apr 04, 00:25
It's 97% proof. I hope you understand that that is warts and all.... {nm} Apr 04, 06:43
My method of divining rods and tea leaves is 98.2% accurate...as long as I don't have to show data either (nm) Apr 04, 00:51
They have done a good job of ripping off my work and claiming it all for themselves. I'll give that to them... {nm} Apr 04, 03:09
Seriously? I know that you were using a system with Twitter, but I just don't see how this works... Apr 04, 06:42
SS, lordy lord, of course you are aware that you can estimate tweet-rate for topics that aren't trending in the world wide top 10? Apr 04, 06:47
but some movies won't show up on Twitter at all, just like with tracking. Apr 04, 06:56
I've actually yet to see a movie that isn't tweeted about... Apr 04, 07:06
I just looked for Date Night... and most of the tweets seemed to be about places where you could download the movie... Apr 04, 07:23
After reading the HP research article, it wasn't clear to me that they predicted anything Apr 04, 05:38
not after theater counts are known one day before release date. {nm} Apr 04, 11:06
Interesting, I was at 98% on Dragon and Clash (based on estimates) without using Twitter. {nm} Apr 04, 06:40
I like how they are less good at predicting second weekends than opening weekends {nm} Apr 04, 06:59
i like how this is total bull**** lol. {nm} Apr 04, 09:47
its says "as much as 97.3% accuracy". thats not the average, thats the max. Whats the mean? {nm} Apr 04, 11:02
