In the movie theater, there were hardly any viewers.
Bruce watched the film being projected, boredly grabbed some popcorn, and threw it into his mouth, chewing with a crackling crunch.
Martin took a sip of his cola.
On the screen, Alexander directed the Greek Allied Forces into the Macedonian phalanx to fight the mighty Persian army.
The most important aspect of epic films is the grandeur of war scenes.
What's the standard for a good movie? Everyone has different criteria.
But the standard for production studios is very consistent: whether it makes money or not.
Bruce saw a melodramatic and overly sentimental segment in the film and couldn't stand it anymore, "I'm going out for some air."
Martin was also not too interested, "Let's go."
They both got up and prepared to leave.
Martin noticed that besides them, several others in the theater were also making their exit.
More than a quarter of the theater's audience.
That's bad news for any film.
