Hello! If you're looking for a quick and dirty measure of a movie's popularity, just look for the line!
LINE (of people) （人の）列、行列
- A line - for example, in front of a movie theater box office - is a row of people, cars, etc., one behind the other, waiting for something.
- line とは、例えば映画館のチケット売り場の前などで、何かを待って並んでいる人や車などの列のことです。
- When I got to the movie theater, there was already a long line of people waiting to get in. I guess I should have expected that on opening night.
- (outside a fast food restaurant)
a: Look at that line (of cars) at the drive-thru!
b: Maybe we should just order inside. - (to someone standing in front of a stall at a festival)
Is this the line for okonomiyaki? - I couldn't believe how crowded it was at the amusement park. We had to wait in line two hours to get on some of the rides!
- We'd better get in line to go through security now. We have to board our flight soon.
- (two customers outside a popular ramen shop)
a: How long have you been standing in line?
b: Almost 30 minutes now. They told us it would only be a 15-minute wait.
