 Re: Friday Numbers That would be the biggest opening day ever for Sandler. I'm not so sure it will be that frontloaded IM wise, I wouldn't consider it the typical sequel weekend kind of film.

Its preview/midnight numbers suggest otherwise. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Something like Wolf of Wall St. probably could've cleaned up with a July/August release, assuming it's good.

I get what you mean, you don't just mean adult-oriented films, you actually mean "serious" films. Mostly dramas. Because if I look at age distributions: White House Down skewed older - 61% above 25 The Heat - 67% above 25 World War Z - 67% above 25 The Internship - 61% above 25 After Earth - 60% over 25 Star Trek into Darkness - 73% above 25 In other words - several films actually skewed older. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

After Earth - 60% over 25
Star Trek into Darkness - 73% above 25
In other words - several films actually skewed older. The modern, action- and SFX-oriented blockbuster era started 35 years ago. A lot of the people who as kids and teens loved Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Die Hard, etc, are now in their 40's and 50's. The current event movies are still more or less built on the same mold. Which explains why such a big part of the audience skews older.

Re: Friday Numbers Yep, I know. But that, of course, also makes them movies for older audiences, so it's not exactly true that the summer has been low on movies for older audiences. (unless you mean something like The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel)

Re: Friday Numbers What Tuukka?
I feel like this has been a very older skewing summer of many years, even if there isn't one specific film directly targeting that (Red 2 an Gatsby are big though)

Re: Friday Numbers Well at least it's not a Poseidon-level flop. High 30s is not THAT bad.

(unless you mean something like The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) Just to avoid confusion, I was agreeing with you all the way, and disagreeing with Jon. A big bulk of the action and SFX-driven movies of today *are* adult-driven movies. It's a dated idea that such movies would appeal mainly to sub-25 crowd.
