Tuesday Numbers (RTH) 22J 7.2,HTTYD2 5.9,Malef 2.9
MovieMan89 replied to John Marston's topic in Numbers and Data
I still don't buy that the TF movies are "family films." They've never been pushed as such. I'm sure a lot of 9-12 year old boys love them, but that doesn't make them a family outing. -
I said there's no animated competition. And I still don't believe Transformers gets much of the girl audience or 8 and under crowd. Then again, I'm starting to wonder if HTTYD2 got much of the girl audience either. That was the main reason KFP2 disappointed, and that was the only concern I ever brought up for Dragon.

It's not a lock or anything that Maleficent will beat it, but the fact that it's possible is horrifying. I mean HTTYD1 did have a 5x multi, and given this will have only a slightly higher OW and no direct competition until Planes it could have a similar run. Especially since it seems to be having similar reception to the first. Not that I'm gonna get my hopes too high after this miserable OW though.

The general lack of big hits this summer is truly starting to worry me. I mean a lot of the movies this summer shouldn't be that unappealing. I think some years have been worse (for good/appealing movies). But I'm wondering if people are just finally sick of movie prices and would rather wait for home video. This Holiday is packed with movies that should be appealing, so if everything disappoints like it is this summer than I think that might be the case.

Lol I don't even know where to begin with that. Talk about totally missing my point. Kids are very impressionable, fact not opinion. Parents need to be very cautious what they're exposed to. Adolescents on the other hand are gonna be exposed to stuff regardless, and they're supposed to be since it helps them prepare and transition for adulthood. Parents still need to help guide them through it, but trying to shield them like they're still kids is pointless. That doesn't mean you encourage them to go light a joint, but you don't treat them like a 4th grader either. Most teens who have real issues had shitty parenting. And I'm talking real issues, not just typical middle school or high school experimenting.

12 year olds aren't kids because most have hit puberty already. Puberty revokes your kid card, no exceptions. They're tweens/teens which are different. And yeah there are such thing as kids who are addicts before they even hit 12 or 13. Kids are ultra impressionable and I don't think they should be exposed to certain things before they at least have the basic maturity for it.

Alien is really just an R for suspense. It might scare some ten year olds, but there's really not much in it that is exposing a kid to content too mature. I saw Matrix around that age, but that should be a PG-13 anyways. Never seen the original RoboCop. To me anyone who's seen 21JS should know 22JS is likely not for kids. Tweens maybe, kids no.

Most 10 year olds aren't even gonna wanna see something like 22JS if they're normal 10 year olds. If they wanna see it that means they're trying to grow up too fast and have already been exposed to a lot of stuff they're too young for. 12 is a bit different, that I don't have as big an issue with since puberty should have taken hold for most by then. And once that happens it doesn't really matter anyways, they're gonna get exposed to stuff. And I don't agree overprotection is worse when you're a kid (like 10 and under), because you only get to be a kid once for a very short time in your life. And if they're exposed to too much too soon, it robs them of their childhood which is something I know I would have never wanted to be robbed of.
