How a Movie Trailer can predict its success

Last updated on: February 24, 2013 at 9:53 pm By Desh Kapoor

Tonight is the Oscar night. A night when the well made movies triumph. But what happens on the Box Office? Does a movie trailer make it a success? Can it predicts how well it will do? Well, one company does think so. According to the Innerscope Research study, if a film’s trailer fails to reach a specific emotional engagement threshold (65), it will very likely generate less than $10 million in revenue on opening weekend; a film whose trailer exceeds...

Who has been spying on BJP?

Last updated on: February 24, 2013 at 9:03 pm By Desh Kapoor

Interesting… someone is spying on BJP leaders and the corporate leaders and this same guy was already in the dock for spying on Amar Singh! So, who promised to “save” this guy from the law when arrested for the Amar Singh case? The suspicion is obviously towards the Congress leaders. The question is will we ever know?

No US President has been born and died under the same flag!

Last updated on: February 22, 2013 at 11:50 am By Desh Kapoor

Very interesting statement and here is the justification for it: The U.S. started with no stars. In fact, it started with a completely different flag. The last two were added in 1959, Hawaii and Alaska. Until there’s a President born after ’59, that dies with no change in the flag and no change in the number of states, that will continue to be a true statement.
