Twisted Ties of Love
Chapter 457

So, "Who's the Ghost" snagged the top spot of the trending list that day.

[Casey in the buff]

Compared to the hailstorm of criticisms for "Lost in Lumina" nearby, "Who's the Ghost" had a storming debut, scoring a whopping 91.

That 0.9 gap? All thanks to the trolls who had nothing better to do than to trash the movie. Izabella and Casey were flawless in this film. Anyone who had seen it can't help but sing its praises.

91 seemed a bit low for the die-hard fans. This movie deserved more eyes on it. It could very well be Casey's best work yet, with box office earnings that could potentially smash the 6 hundred million mark. [I'm dubbing Casey and Izabella the surprise package. Who would've thought this 8 million budget movie could outdo its 30 million neighbor?]

[Are you sure this movie is any good? You're not just saying this 'cause you were paid off, right? A horror movie from a comedy crew, how good can it be? The joke's on you! Look at its first-day box office, doesn't even make half of what "Lost in Lumina" did.]

[Reply to the above, this movie is a gem. Best I've ever seen. Hackett blew my mind, brilliant! I'm not on the take. If I were, I'd be having nightmares!]

[I went to see 'Who's the Ghost' just to kill some time. Who would've thought it'd get me all teary-eyed by the end. The ending was a total curveball, had me laughing, crying, and scared out of my wits. Heck, I'm still a bit spooked just thinking about it.]

[Never thought a domestic horror movie could be this good. Hats off to the crew, you guys have ushered in a new era for horror flicks in our country.]

[Totally shattered my expectations. I was dissing this movie just yesterday. Who would've thought it'd turn out so amazing! Great script, amazing cast, Izabella and Casey are simply irresistible. The chemistry between them is off the charts! And let's not forget the script. I can't give away any spoilers since the movie is still in theaters, but this is hands down the best script I've ever seen. Kudos to the original screenwriter Bell Salotti! I want to know everything about this genius!]

[Go see it! Everyone, go see it! Casey goes shirtless, I'm getting nosebleeds just thinking about that bod.]

[Comments say Casey's showing off his upper body. I'm definitely not missing out on that. For a glimpse of Casey's hotness, it's all worth it.]

[I'm going for a rewatch. Whether they strip or not doesn't matter, I just want to test my nerves.]

[Casey's got guts, huh? Stripping in front of the audience?]

['Who's the Ghost' is just a low-budget flick, right? With a budget of only 8 million and no other investments. How much would be left after paying the actors? 2 million? Or 1 million? How good can a movie made with that little money be? I'm seriously doubting the praises from above are genuine.]

[You've gotta be kidding me. Low-budget? It's all about the big picture, man. The money was well spent, unlike "Lost in Lumina" which claims to be the best fantasy film of the year. One look and I wanted to hurl. Those special effects were horrendous. The 300 million budget was all spent on hiring actors and advertising. And now they're even hiring trolls to boost their ratings and trash the competitors!]

[I initially planned to watch "Lost in Lumina" with my girlfriend. But having seen the comments below, we quickly changed our minds.]

[To the one who commented above, you made the right call. I took my girlfriend to see "Lost in Lumina" yesterday, and she threatened to break up with me afterward. But after I coaxed her into seeing 'Who's the Ghost' today, we made up.]

[Can you guys check out the reviews on "Lost in Lumina"? It's cringe-worthy. Now whenever I see Vivian's face, I feel embarrassed. I used to think she was pretty and her acting was decent. But seeing her on the big screen, all I see is a big round face. Why watch "Lost in Lumina" when you can drool over Casey's abs and Izabella's stunning beauty?]

[Latest news, the special effects in "Lost in Lumina""'s trailer were plagiarized. What a disaster!]

24 hours later, the latest feedback on the movies playing in cinemas came out, according to the data.

On the first day, "Lost in Lumina" had the highest box office, but the worst reviews.

While "Who's the Ghost" didn't do exceptionally well in box office, it received a ton of rave reviews.

These reviews significantly boosted the movie's publicity. On the second day, "Who's the Ghost" tickets sold out as soon as they were released, reaching a 90% occupancy rate, making it the highest in recent years, far exceeding "Lost in Lumina".

The cinemas were not fools. They saw the trend and naturally increased the number of screenings for movies with higher occupancy rates.

Fast forward another day, "Who's the Ghost"'s audience count surpassed "Lost in Lumina", and the rating also increased.

"Who's the Ghost""'s rating reached 95, and the box office surpassed 1 hundred million dollars within just two days.

In contrast, "Lost in Lumina" was not so lucky. The original 5-star rating dropped to 4. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't run into such a formidable opponent as "Who's the Ghost".

"Who's the Ghost""'s box office was soaring, unstoppable. Initially, the production team and investors of "Lost in Lumina" even hired trolls to trash "Who's the Ghost", but it was to no avail!
