It's a wonderful life.

The number of choices you make in the event that you see on stage, those choices are sometimes largely determined by the rehearsal process and the experiments that you go through and the choices that you make in the rehearsal room, not in front of an audience.
Ben Kingsley

The many many imponderables come together when a film opens and for all sorts of reasons it may or may not succeed.
