teenage boys dont even watch movies in theaters much.

 

Maybe 1-2 a year at most.

You're not a normal teenage boy. Apparently.

Maybe not

" Fithian didn’t just allude to Screening Room, he also argued that teenagers remain fans of the moviegoing experience, despite coming of age in a digital world. In 2015, per capita ticket sales for Americans aged 12 to 17 was 7.3, representing the highest growth rate of any age demographic. Despite making up 8% of the U.S. population, this age group were responsible for 16% of movie tickets purchased. Of particular interest to theater owners, teenagers are the most likely to buy 3D or premium format tickets, both of which come with surcharges."

Where she apparently rapes a guy to intimidate him

For years Hollywood thought that teenage boys ran the marketplace and everyone else was just a niche demographic. Now, not so much. 

 

For example, Deadpool would've been contractually obligated to be PG-13 a decade ago.

35-45 year olds probably go out the least since they're between kids and full time jobs. May be a factor in why women that age are underrepresented

Didn't those shitty Punisher movies come out around that time?

Yeah but those were very low-key releases compared to the other comic book properties of the time.

Not sure I buy that. What's DEADPOOL but a movie for 13-year-old boys who happen to be in the 25-34 demo?

[AniNate]

I'm sure a not insignificant number of under 17s found their way in too

True but most have to sneak in to watch it. I think I would be embarrassed to watch that movie with my offspring sitting next to me lol.

The biggest films this year so far have all been aimed at the youth demographic. It's hard to think the industry is wrong trying to cater to them

More like catering to all quadrants. It says a lot that only 1 movie has crossed $100M this year without reaching $300M+.

True, although it's basically a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Not really. You have tons of "classy", "realistic" movies coming out during Oscar season and most of them don't have a prayer to make even half as much as a Batman film or a Disney fantasy

The industry puts their major efforts into targeting PG-13-demo tentpoles. They deign to make a few others because they like getting accolades and/or they want to keep relationships with talent.

If adults were really as interested in going to movies as younger people I'd think they'd be more willing to actively seek out the goods
