The script of Dumb Money will appeal to 0.47-0.57% 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 reveals the story principles shared by all Blockbusters. We use the Code to estimate and unlock a story’s Blockbuster potential.

• All Blockbusters have at least 3 universal quests. Dumb Money has 2 universal quests of Independence and Power. 

• In Blockbusters, each universal quest is mirrored by ONLY ONE character. Keith mirrors the universal quest of Independence & Gabe mirrors the quest of Power.

• Every Blockbuster character borrows at least 35% of the universal quest. Keith’s character borrows 27% of the universal quest of Independence. Gabe’s character borrows 19% of 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. Dumb Money’s quest interweaving score of 0.33 is below par. Here is an example of quest interweaving of Keith & Gabe: 

• Blockbusters have a script score of at least 0.64 whereas Dumb Money’s script score is 0.02. Based on the script score we estimate that the movie will appeal to 0.47-0.57% of the population.

The plot structure of Dumb Money uses 2 universal quests unlike Blockbusters which use at least 3 quests. Moreover, both the quests don't have sufficient depth, as a result, no character is strong. 

 

95% events in Dumb Money 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: Keith mirrors 27% of David’s quest for Independence (below threshold of 35%)

Keith’s desire for Independence stems from the need for self-reliance. The tale of David from Abrahamic mythology is the universal quest for Independence.

Quest 2: Gabe mirrors 19% of Duryodhan’s quest for Power (below threshold of 35%)

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