Why 'Takeover' would be successful?

I believe that 'Takeover' would be successful because it has a plot that can intrigue a large audience. 'Takeover' includes the well known B list actor Dev Patel. Having a B list actor can help make the film a success because Patel is famous and has been in excellent movies such as 'Slumdog Millionaire' that made a total of $384,519,665 in the Worldwide Box office. This could lead to a lot of publicity as magazines and TV shows would love to take interviews to know all about 'Takeover.' It would also be successful because it is being directed by Neill Blomkamp who is known for 'District 9' which will attract fans of the same genre (sci-fi). I think that 'Takeover' will be successful because of the Billboard campaigns worldwide and the Premieres in major worldwide cities.
