Movies

what point are you arguing with me here dmac? just the generalism that pg13 makes more money overall than R?? no kidding.

Posted by: adrenalin112 on Feb 21, 16:44 in response to Antibody's post Attraction equals box office. PG-13 rated films...

my reply was in regards to the poster thinking that HGAME is going to attract males.  this is a chick targeted franchise, the movie is going to debut the new twilight trailer. 

one of this years best performing movies so far the Vow had a primarily female audience, twilight is a girl driven franchise, the males in the audience are a tiny minority. 

if HGAME , less feminine than twilight?  yes, will it attract maybe 5-15% more males than twilight, probably.  is it going to attract males the way R-rated titles like matrix & 300 did?  no chance. 

WSJ: Early market research indicates [HGAME] is likely to exceed the box-office results of the first "Twilight" film Antibody Feb 21, 14:33

and of course "early market research" is always right {nm} PaulBuxton2011 Feb 21, 14:52

Then again, book buyers doesn't always translate to movie watchers. But I'm optimistic. {nm} BorderLand Feb 21, 14:55

I think it's a little early for me to believe this. {nm} grammar Feb 21, 15:03

and "unlike twighlight" , it is not fantasy romance novel aimed at teen females, so should we be suprised that it is skewing more Males? PaulBuxton2011 Feb 21, 15:04

Well, having just read it after my girlfriend, we are both excited to see it for different reasons... PRodQuanta Feb 21, 15:10

Elizabeth Banks isn't naked in it... just FYI. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 21, 18:34

ROFLOL! {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Feb 21, 19:07

Women (20-55) may be a bigger audience than teen females. I have no data to confirm but FB and 'real' friends plus woman's intuition make it grammar Feb 21, 15:18

with a less than R rating, all the cool 'guy'/battle royale stuff is gonna be missing. no blood, raw language, sex, etc... meh. {nm} adrenalin112 Feb 21, 15:45

PG-13 franchises make more money than R. {nm} Antibody Feb 21, 15:55

i was debating the attraction of 'males' to this flick, not overall BO dollars. theres no mistaking HGAME is a girl flick, this isnt TDK. {nm} adrenalin112 Feb 21, 16:04

Attraction equals box office. PG-13 rated films attracted more males than R-rated films. {nm} Antibody Feb 21, 16:20

You're the one who brought up the R-rating is needed to attract guys. Who cares about Matrix and 300. Look at Harry Potter, Spider-Man.. {nm} Antibody Feb 21, 16:55

HPOT & Spidey are male targeted titles. eh, my fault i'm trying to figure out a way that i could talk myself into looking adrenalin112 Feb 21, 17:00

They are 4 Quad movies. Even if they are 60% males, 40% females still translate into more women in attendance than most romcoms. {nm} Antibody Feb 21, 17:08

It's okay. At least the BR blu-ray comes out in a month. {nm} Jelly Feb 21, 18:12

The Change-Up was also R-rated, and bombed. From what I can remember, most of the audience for that movie was also male. accountant_4_Jesus Feb 21, 17:53

machete, piranha, death race all other recent guy R movies that did terrible. What im simply saying is that i dont see HGAME offering adrenalin112 Feb 21, 17:59

I might have to reread the series more carefully, I missed the sex! {nm} stevie1der328 Feb 21, 16:10

I don't see girls lining up like Twilight for this film... b4bad Feb 21, 15:19

That's impressive but not shocking considering the hype. {nm} thatpj Feb 21, 15:34

Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson are going on a multi-city meet and greet mall tour AFRAMFund Feb 21, 15:54

too bad early tracking is 50 mil {nm} nero5150 Feb 21, 16:01

What tracking? If the answer is RS, I wouldn't put to much weight on it. {nm} BionicMoron Feb 21, 16:07

no special effects ,wolves,stuff like that,seems like mostly story. {nm} astorm99 Feb 21, 18:14

Have you actually read the books? There is FX stuff in it. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 21, 18:49

I believe it and have expected it for some time. Fans of this are absolutely RABID. {nm} MiyazakiFan Feb 21, 18:56
