A slow-starting Verity reel nears 100,000 views before release
The short screening promo is moving against the grain on a channel, and a whole corner of film studios, running below its usual pace.
Sony Pictures Releasing UKStory of Why this story? The video is running at 63,296 views a day, 18 times its usual pace (3,430).
Verity - Special Screening Sizzle - Only In Cinemas October 2
Sony Pictures Releasing UK posted a short "special screening sizzle" for Verity on September 25. Its first day was almost silent, with a little over a thousand views. Five days on, the reel is close to 95,000, and it is still drawing tens of thousands a day, far beyond its own usual pace.
What makes that unusual is the setting around it. The studio's British channel as a whole is running well below its normal daily views. So are the other film channels in its circle, from Legendary to Fandango to IGN Movie Trailers. The reel has also gathered only a handful of likes and comments, so the crowd has been watching rather than talking.
Verity is the screen version of a psychological thriller novel first published in 2018. The book follows a struggling writer who is hired to finish a famous author's book series and moves into her house to do it. The sizzle title gives the date plainly, only in cinemas October 2, which leaves the reel a couple of days of work before the film arrives.
