And all this says is that RS is made up of crackhead analysts who can't even read their own research.

I can verify that Lorax is tracking for a $40 million plus opening (when compare to other similar movies opening the same weekend) and you're nucking futs if you short it based on this hair-brained RS/MTC theory.  I think MTC is right on with their tracking this week.

RS mid 50s vs. 45... uh-oh. {nm} second gary Feb 28, 08:59

Have we had a downward MTC vs RS thingy yet this year? Or have they all been uppers? {nm} Paul2k Feb 28, 09:05

Several. GDEED just this past weekend, for example. (25 RS, 18 MTC, 16 OW) {nm} RogerMore Feb 28, 09:12

(There was also 1MONY - rule didn't work, MYSTR - rule was way off, and WLUST - rule worked, but may have been due to an RS typo) {nm} RogerMore Feb 28, 09:17

Isn't it supposed to be a bigger difference? or does the rule "predict" direction? {nm} Paul2k Feb 28, 09:18

By difference, I mean the actual OW being much higher or much lower than MTC? {nm} Paul2k Feb 28, 09:18

The rule is: if MTC is significantly greater than RS, the OW will be greater than MTC. Similarly, if MTC is significantly less than RS, the RogerMore Feb 28, 09:23

No one's saying to follow the rule blindly. It's just another tool to use (and it gives us something to talk about on a slow day) {nm} RogerMore Feb 28, 09:27

Yeah, I can't imagine it being much lower than that. That freaking Lorax is everywhere right now. {nm} Ruthian23 Feb 28, 09:36

So the end result delta from MTC to OW is not looked at when dealing with the rule? Just the fact that the OW is either lower or higher Paul2k Feb 28, 09:28

That's my understanding. {nm} RogerMore Feb 28, 09:40

WLUST as well (RS: 18, MTC: 8, OW: 6.5); but I don't know the difference is big enough here, only 18% {nm} xiayun Feb 28, 09:17

I thought RS was low teens (i.e. 13)... wasn't that big a gap between them. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 28, 09:29

Even if it's low-teen, the percentage is big enough for the "rule" to be validated {nm} xiayun Feb 28, 10:26

Thanks {nm} horlicks Feb 28, 08:41

Man... I was hoping it was going to say 60. :) {nm} dioneta Feb 28, 09:15

Lorax does 52 for the weekend {nm} UNIVXFund Feb 28, 14:36
