DL: We are hearing from (Neon) that Origin is their highest tested movie ever, 91 total positive with an 81 definite recommend Antibody Nov 22, 06:11

I walked out of it at TIFF... but I'll be giving it another chance. TheWeekendWarrior Nov 22, 07:15

"We understand that the focus groups who remain after an Origin test screening are emotionally in tears, moved by what they’ve just seen" terraformingearth Nov 22, 08:17

You're not allowed to walk out of survey screening. A select few is asked to remain after for further focus group discussion. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 08:30

So how are the group members selected, and how are the "select few" selected from them? {nm} terraformingearth Nov 22, 08:35

They typically ask you ahead of time if you are interested (sometimes they text you) {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 08:41

They're trying to undersrand what works and how they should market the film. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 08:49

Who did you like the most? What did you think of.. (ending, character,etc). also if there are known problem areas, they will ask about them. {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 08:53

They also tend to like recruiting crowds who will rip apart a movie if they don't like it. They loved/love Usual Megaplex for the crowd mix. notfabio Nov 22, 08:56

You can absolutely walk out of a test screening + other comments about test screenings inside message below RupertPupkin Nov 22, 09:00

True, I was trying to counter the impression that "those who remains" means those who didn't walked out without completing survey. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 09:24
