The script of A Haunting in Venice will appeal to 1.19-1.45% of the population

Any story is the quest to fulfil a human desire. We have identified universal quests for every human desire. These universal quests reveal the invisible plot structure of stories. An analysis of Blockbuster, Hit & Flop plots led to the discovery of Mythosis Code. The Code identifies the ideal Blockbuster plot structure for a story from its script. We use the ideal plot structure to estimate and unlock a story’s Blockbuster potential.
 

• All Blockbusters have at least 3 universal quests. A Haunting in Venice has 2 universal quests of Expedition and Power.

• In Blockbusters, each universal quest is mirrored by ONLY ONE character. A Haunting in Venice characters uniquely mirror ONE universal quest. Poirot – Expedition & Rowena – Power. Ariadne has an underdeveloped quest of Stature.

• Every Blockbuster character mirrors at least 35% of the universal quest. Poirot’s character borrows 33% from the universal quest of Expedition. Rowena’s character borrows 21% from the universal quest of Power.

• Blockbusters interweave different quests to create a tight plot structure. Interweaving occurs when events of 2 quests occur simultaneously in the story. Blockbusters have a quest interweaving threshold of 0.5. A Haunting in Venice’s quest interweaving score of 0.33 is below par. The quests of Poirot & Rowena is interwoven with each other.

• Blockbusters have a script score of at least 0.64 whereas A Haunting in Venice’s script score is 0.04. Based on the script score we estimate that the movie will appeal to 1.19-1.45% of the population.

91% events in A Haunting in Venice are borrowed from 2 mythological tales

 
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.
 

Quest 1: Poirot mirrors 33% of Jason’s quest for Expedition (marginally below threshold of 35%)

Poirot’s desire for Expedition stems from his need to find an elusive person/object. The tale of Jason from Greek mythology is the universal quest for Expedition.

Quest 2: Rowena mirrors 21% of Duryodhan’s quest for Power (below threshold of 35%)

Rowena’s desire for Power stems from her need to dominate others. The tale of Duryodhan from Hindu mythology is the universal quest for Power.
