The Panda Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Turtles: Studio research showed that 61% of the audience was male and 55% was over 25 GOTG: Studio research showed that Star-Lord and company drew a crowd that was very common for this genre, but appeal to women was stronger than usual. 56% of the audience was male and 55% was over 25. Isn't most of that from the pre-views similar to cinemascore? TMNT haas later pre-screenings thus a higher ratio of older audiences because of how late it was. It's why it had Maleficent type preview numbers and weekend numbers, it played to children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids are still only one part of the under 25 set, however. You also have to consider teenagers and people between 18-25, who may have been the ones driving up Guardian's under 25 numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 There you go....see we can be on the same side sometimes. lol, yeah. That kind of hold will lock 300M and maybe as much as IM1 but I'll take 39-42% drop this weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I think Turtles will hold well, perhaps a 55% drop. We agree again. Sat/Sun and now Tuesday holds are showing it won't collapse over the weekend. I think it wins the weekend with 30M+. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 It does seem like the one-two punch of GOTG and Turtles are giving families a good dose of entertainment this summer. Because it really did seem like pickings were a bit slim for that demographic since May, HTTYD/Planes/etc. just not looking appealing for the demo. Am I wrong on that? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I heard multiple friends/relatives complain that they had nothing to take children/cousins/nephews/nieces to see in the month of July. Transformers, aside from Dragon, being the only real option. So... Yes, I think both are now reaping the benefit. And, given what's due out this month, will continue to reap reward for the foreseeable future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Disney Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I did say that GOTG was coming to make the box office more exciting. No matter what you think of the movie, you have to recognize that the box office has been much more exciting with GOTG around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) To be honest, I heard multiple friends/relatives complain that they had nothing to take children/cousins/nephews/nieces to see in the month of July. Transformers, aside from Dragon, being the only real option. So... Yes, I think both are now reaping the benefit. And, given what's due out this month, will continue to reap reward for the foreseeable future. I'm kind of trying to convince my husband to take the kid with us to GOTG. Because the kid (two-and-a-half year old) loves, LOVES Groot and "Rock-coon" and Gamora. He's also starting to watch some of the Turtles cartoon on Hulu+, but there's only five episodes. I don't think either movies are really age appropriate for him though. And I just don't really want to spend $$$ on Planes LOL! I'd rather wait until the DVD comes to Redbox or the library. TF4 did okay, but HTTYD? Man, that's a disappointing run for a sequel that's reviewed well to a beloved movie (at least I thought it was beloved.) But for families with older kids? Yeah, these movies look super appealing and colorful and bright and have layered humor and writing or nostalgia to appeal to adults as well.

Thrylos 7 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Wow , I predicted that GOTG will be huge (just like I did say that TASM2 would crawl to 200 million after it's first weekend ) from May 4th , saying that "GOTG BO performance will shock a lot of people " , in reply to someone about how I am a fanboy and marvel fatigue blahblablah ,and I am from freakin Greece, not being able to experience disney's marketing .
