How Titan works
Titan combines the archive’s quality, audience and legacy base with the significance of time travel. It is an index, not a score out of 100, and is distinct from the FMV archive’s scoring model.
Titan = base × [0.20 + 0.80 × (time-travel score ÷ 10)²]
This film: 34.05 base × 71.2% weighting. Letterboxd counts and available averages supplied by the user on 2026-10-20. Revenue remains unreported or unverified, not a confirmed zero. Letterboxd average rating is unavailable. Do not reject solely on the Titan cutoff while source data is incomplete.
Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
