Adriana Trigiani Quotes

The award is important in order to bring people to the movie theater. That's the only principle meaning of any award.

Your film really needs to call audiences to theatres.

A big blockbuster like 'Kick' expands the audience for my films and makes it easier to promote them.

You can window-dress and promote a movie as much as you like but if the movie hasn't got substance and isn't an exciting movie, people won't watch it.

You can make films, and often, they get released on four screens in the U.K. Although it's been interesting and good for you, if no one's seen it, what's the point?

The movies have a way of seeping out there over time. We don't put them in 2,000 theaters. It wouldn't work that way.

The hard thing is getting people to come to the theater to see something, no matter if it's good or not.

You want to know if anyone's going to go see your film. You shouldn't worry about it or get hung up on it. So yea, you kind of monitor it.

Everybody goes and sees 'Fantastic Four,' but nobody sees 'Sunshine.' I'd have a different career if people saw that.

Think about trailers you see in theaters. If you're seeing a Warner Bros film, the studio might have three of the five trailers. So having a hit helps you create the next hit.

'Let the Bullets Fly' indeed attracted an audience, but how it did this is also a question for me.

I think of 'Beyond The Clouds' very fondly. Yes, it has not been seen by a lot of people in theatres. I had anticipated more people would watch it. But that has to do with something I don't know well: marketing. A lot of people didn't even know that it was a Hindi film.

I've always wanted to be an actor who connects with families because once they come to watch your film in the theatres, it becomes a big deal. That's how you sell four tickets at one go.

Whether you are a star kid or not, it all depends on the actor and how he/she can get the audience to the theatre.

Commercial hit films such as 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan,' 'Talaash,' and 'Kick' had big superstars to sell them; that may not have been the case if it were just me.

Any cinema has to be entertaining. Boring cinema won't work. If you want to make one, then screen it for free on TV.

The main thing about awards in movies is that they can serve as an economic surge for the film. If you're movie gets nominated for any award it does it a big favour. People might go and see it again... they won't give up on it.

There are things that are happening way earlier than that when it comes to someone deciding whether they're going to spend x amount of millions of dollars on a movie. I want $100 million success. The moviegoer is the person I'm more interested in than the Academy.
