If I knew the movie was going to be popular, would it work to say "It's going to be playing to packed movie theaters"?
Could I say "He played in many movies" and "He played many movies" for "He acted in many movies"?
I can't figure out the meaning of the phrasal verb "play to". Would it mean something like "make use of" or "based on" ? could I say "A Dan Curtis production plays to events of World War 2"?
I understand there's been a whole bunch of far more important questions. How about you give an answer to mine?
