That is why you see a lot of movies especially TubiTV rated TV-MA, TV-14 and NR of couse you will sometimes get lucky and find one with these rating with numbers. it's incredible that 88% of all movies do not have a certificate #. that is a shocking number.
What makes no sense is that the number is found in the credits of some NR and TV-rated films. Usually the number is assigned to a film after it was rated (see the weekly bulletin). If so, then the number shouldn't have seen in the credits of these non-MPA rated films. It's not even PCA times when a number is assigned to films after they were approved, long before the rating system took effect.
