great article on The Help and it's potential - Variety lobogotti Aug 15, 07:31

I almost posted this but was worried about being called a hypocrite. TheWeekendWarrior Aug 15, 07:32

LMAO....I was waiting for it. In all seriousness this has to encourage you on the delist numbers. Throw in that holiday weekend lobogotti Aug 15, 07:34

Must be many that think like you and me there Lobo. Dorfman Aug 15, 07:37

well if those were the top markets, it sounds like the ethnicity was heavy African american {nm} Moviesnob Aug 15, 07:39

in Memphis, Hotlanta and Jackson definitely. Dallas, Chicago are debatable. {nm} lobogotti Aug 15, 07:42

it would interesting to line this up to a Tyler Perry release Moviesnob Aug 15, 07:45

it would, but the reason I question that is there is no way I'm going to a Perry film. the fact that I went with wifey, it was near sold lobogotti Aug 15, 07:49

OK there is only 1 thing this movie has in common with a tyler perry release... Thats a really bad comparison {nm} Dorfman Aug 15, 08:00

that it overpeforms in Atlanta? That its demo is older? That it skews female? That it opened above 20? {nm} Moviesnob Aug 15, 08:02

Tyler's demo is older? Most people I know that like his movie are younger. Dorfman Aug 15, 08:13

I don't know what his movies pull now, but I remember the first one's opening w/e being something like 60% 35+ African-American females. BionicMoron Aug 15, 08:17

yes, older {nm} Moviesnob Aug 15, 08:18

That it makes grown white men cry fairly hard? BionicMoron Aug 15, 08:05

now that is funny! {nm} lobogotti Aug 15, 08:08

hahaha {nm} Dorfman Aug 15, 08:11

The vast majority of Jacksonians I know that saw it where white - EverRaven Aug 15, 08:51

... and I can't spell on mondays, it seems... {nm} EverRaven Aug 15, 08:51

to those that were at the film, mind sharing the ethnicity makeup of your theatre? {nm} lobogotti Aug 15, 07:46

Watched in Redwood City CA (in the bay area); I'd say 85% white? a few Asians; Mostly older crowd; about 60% females {nm} xiayun Aug 15, 09:12

thanks. what capacity, near sold out? {nm} lobogotti Aug 15, 10:01

Yeah, basically sold out except for some front seats; it's a 3:35pm show {nm} xiayun Aug 15, 10:55
