You know, we have to see how the Word of mouth and the reviews from the fresh show. We don’t want being a sci-fi genre, you know Like we don’t want any surprises on the negative side. Hopefully, one is hoping for a positive side that it will entertain the audience and there won’t be any negative, you know word of mouth or review. So On paper, yeah, it has the potential by Thursday noon We should be able to tell after one or two shows overall over the world What is the review? What is the word of mouth? Then we can confidently say where it will end in the long lifetime Right now. Yeah, theoretically it has the possibility to emerge as the biggest hit of the year.”
