If it’s your turn to pick a movie on movie night, you’re betting on something that won’t leave any of your friends or family members regretting their time. Will it be worth the 12 bucks they could’ve spent on literally anything else? There’s always a bet involved when deciding what movies you watch with a group. They take a risk when choosing what film they buy a ticket for (or these days, what they rent online). Remember, someone bet that people would actually want to see a film based on Cats.Īudiences also are always making bets. Actors make bets with every choice they make on set - are they being overly emotive or too reserved? Certainly, studios are always making bets with how they spend their money and how audiences will react. A director bets that they’ve chosen the right crew to tell that story.
A writer bets that the story they’re writing is one that people will want to hear.
