Software Predicts Movie Success

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the springtime-for-hitler dept.

scheming daemons writes "TechNewsWorld has an article about software that predicts whether a movie will be successful or not by factoring in its rating by censors (e.g. G, PG, R), strength of the cast, genre, competition from other films at the time of release, special effects, whether it is a sequel, and the number of theaters in which it will show."

  1. My Toaster Can Do That. by CheeseburgerBlue · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    By randomly declaring 1 out of 1000 movies "okay" and the rest "barftastic" accuracy is guaranteed.

    Anybody want to buy my AI software which predicts the success rate of career comebacks among humpbacked prostitutes?

    The ANSI C standard defines 0, EXIT_SUCCESS (meaning the same as 0), and EXIT_FAILURE as the only return values for main. You should also not reply on implicit function declarations; #include to use printf().
