Lmao, even computer AI's hate my scripts.


Hey, the audience was something like 56%. That's nearly 3:2. A hell of a lot of movies of Metacritic would kill to have that score. =)

I threw 60 Feet Under in there. I love numbers, so it'll be fun to see.

Re: A Quiet Place. I don't know what to make of that one. I noticed the low scores, too. But, also saw that they had it rated "Blockbuster." Based on what, I wonder? The production budget vs. box office numbers were interesting, but how did the program give the script such low audience scores, but determine it would pull in over $100 million? Or, am I reading that wrong?

I'm guessing they determined the box office after the actual box office

I didn't look it up, but I thought part of the point was that they would try to analyze the script for potential box office? So, I was assuming the box office was their guesstimate.

Hey, if anyone wants to make a cool $30M, let me know. 60 Feet Under looks like it will cost about $15M to make, and pull in about $45M.

Anybody?

Mine is up there, Visiting Day US... interesting to see the breakdowns but I'm not sure how it helps really, as pointed out, there's no quality based ratings beyond the (I assume) guestimated IMDB/Rotten Tomato type scores.

I really liked my keywords though

Keywords: zombies, taser, chute, turban, torch, cctv, fund, cure, generator, lab

Who's not gonna buy it from that!

What I now can;t figure out is how a prospective Producer is supposed to get hold of me?

You'll have to do something with all the money that you're about to make...



I did find it interesting that the scene chart for my script really looks like the action is heavily front-loaded. I don't see the script that way. I wonder if I'm wrong?

Also, my male/female ratios are WAY off. Very male-centric. But, I think that's a product of my approach to the script. I wanted it strictly from the eyes of my protagonist... so, he's in 95% of the scenes. I don't feel like the chart accurately reflects the distribution. But, again, it's a new way to see the script.

Dave will tell them as part of his negotiations.

(You gave your email, so, presumably that's where you'll hear.)

Yeah but I can't see my email address on the script data and more worryingly I cannot see anything on the sites homepage for where Producers sign-up or login... in fact nothing at all that appears to talk to Producers.

The plot thickens!

In other news... I'm led to believe the free offer thingy will extend beyond the end of April.

Don't forget, mine costs $15M ($14.5 of that going to Channing Tatum). So, you're going to have to push them higher.

(Unless you're talking Xbox gamer points and not dollars. Gamer points are forever, and therefore worth more.)

Product placement... interesting.

Especially considering "bra" was one of your keywords.
