Gran Turismo’s script borrows from 2 mythological tales & has a potential of USD 47-57MM (in US & Canada)

USD 50-62 MM Mythosis Code prediction for domestic



  • Gran Turismo’s script borrows events from the tales of Theseus & Dronacharya
  • The script potential is 0.05 and the movie will appeal to 1.33-1.63% of the population




Character journeys in Gran Turismo mirror the tales of Theseus & Dronacharya

At Mythosis, we have identified 32 mythological tales. Each mythological tale uniquely represents a human quest to fulfil a desire. These tales are the super set of thousands of tales across cultures.

We have codified the events of each mythological tale. Every tale has 5 major arcs. Each arc has a sequence of events. These events culminate into a major event. Here is the mapping of each character’s quest to the major events in their respective mythological tale.

1st Journey: Yann mirrors Theseus’ quest for Acceptance

Yann’s desire for Acceptance stems from his need for approval by others. The tale of Theseus from Greek mythology is the universal quest for Acceptance.

Gran Turismo uses Theseus' tale from Greek mythology














2nd Journey: Salter mirrors Dronacharya's quest for Vengeance

Salter’s desire for Vengeance stems from his need to get even. The tale of Dronacharya from Hindu mythology is the universal quest for Vengeance.

Using the tales of Theseus & Dronacharya we have extracted the plot structure of Gran Turismo

Any story is quest to fulfil a human desire. Our 32 mythological tales are the universal quests for every human desire. Using these tales, we identify every desire journey in the story. The interweaving of multiple desire journeys is the plot structure of the story.

Number of desire journeys: Gran Turismo uses 2 mythological tales. Yann’s journey mirrors the universal quest of Acceptance. Salter mirrors the universal quest of Vengeance. Both Danny & Capa have distinct desires but insufficient events and hence undeveloped quests.

Depth of desire journeys: Yann borrows 36% from Theseus’ tale. Salter borrows 20% from Dronacharya’s tale.

Interweaving of desire journeys: Quests of Yann & Salter are interwoven. Interweaving multiple quests creates a cohesive story. Interweaving occurs when events of 2 quests occur simultaneously in the story. Here is an example of interweaving the quests of Yann & Salter.

Gran Turismo’s plot structure reveals its box office potential

We have developed Mythosis Code from the analysis of Blockbuster, Hits & Flops plot structures. Mythosis Code identifies the ideal Blockbuster plot structure for any story. It uses the ideal plot structure to estimate and unlock a story’s Blockbuster potential.

Mythosis Code:
1. All Blockbusters borrow from at least 3 mythological tales
2. Each character mirrors ONLY ONE tale & borrows at least 35% events
3. The mythological tales used must be interwoven with a minimum score of 0.5

Plot depth lower than a Blockbuster. Gran Turismo plot structure borrows from only 2 mythological tales. 

Characters are consistent. Both Yann & Salter mirror ONE tale each

Character depth is skewed. 60% of Theseus’ quest is borrowed by Yann which is above threshold of 35%. But Salter borrows only 20% of Dronacharya’s quest.

Low Quest interweaving score.  0.33 is below the desired figure of 0.50

Gran Turismo’s script potential score is 0.05. This indicates an audience appeal of 1.33-1.63% of the domestic market population. The audience appeal translates to USD 47-57MM box office revenues.
