Will Ferrell has said that he can never tell which of his films will be a success or a flop and he also reckons "anyone who says they know right away, they're lying."

Speaking to Radar magazine, the 47-year-old funnyman said: "My barometer hasn't gotten any sharper. I think anyone who says they know right away, they're lying.

"When you see the edited film, you just have to feel, 'We made something that feels different, fresh and new and it has a strong point of view.' It's up to the gods at that point.

"You never know when a movie is going to hit the zeitgeist for whatever reason, whether it's release date, what's out there at the same time, are people in the mood to see a comedy at a certain point? All those factors you really aren't in control of. I don't feel like my gauge is sharpened in any way."
