The Vow was overwhelmingly female whereas the Transformers films are more evenly split

Posted by: SeekingJusticeInTheatresNow (a.k.a HarryWarden) on Mar 18, 06:29 in response to RogerMore's post Do you think Michael Bay would be a popular director even...

A whopping 72% of The Vow's audience was female whereas 54% was male for Transformers. Women don't mind Bay's films. His films do not draw an overwhelmingly male audience despite what you may want to believe.

So is the talentless Channing Tatum now an A-list star? HarryWarden Mar 17, 20:49

There are shallow man who watch trash movies too ;-) {nm} karspov Mar 17, 21:09

This isn't about trash movies per se. It's about a terrible actor becoming a draw without any talent. {nm} HarryWarden Mar 17, 21:17

Fire up the presses. First time this has ever happened in Hollywood. RotoHockey Mar 17, 21:30

Doesn't mean it's right. {nm} HarryWarden Mar 17, 21:31

You kill me, honestly. Jane_Citizen Mar 17, 22:03

Don't shoot the messenger {nm} HarryWarden Mar 17, 22:22

Am I understanding the messages correctly as: Jane_Citizen Mar 17, 23:08

I thought you said you weren't going to bite? {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 17, 23:09

He gets mad at me when I respond, but I can't imagine that a post like that isn't intended to be provocative. Jane_Citizen Mar 17, 23:23

ROFLOL! accountant_4_Jesus Mar 17, 23:41

just for the record Andre C Mar 18, 01:50

He holds 10 stocks and has less than 2m and last trade was 11/11/11...his game is the forums and provoking responses most of the time. {nm} Catzan Mar 18, 02:07

Oh look forget it, I don't want to get into it. {nm} Jane_Citizen Mar 17, 23:09

You clearly don't understand that adage... {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Mar 18, 04:34

What I said was true. I was just voicing what no one else has the guts to say regarding Tatum's popularity. Unless you actually think he's.. SeekingJusticeInTheatresNow Mar 18, 05:04

But if we disagree, we're not "shooting the messenger," we're shooting the person who wrote the message as well. TheWeekendWarrior Mar 18, 07:01

I haven't seen a CTATU film, so I don't have an opinion. But you haven't defined your terms. And I think SSODE's decision to cast him... second gary Mar 18, 05:30

Do you think Michael Bay would be a popular director even if he didn't put lots of explosions and underwear models in his movies? And since RogerMore Mar 18, 05:52

The Vow was overwhelmingly female whereas the Transformers films are more evenly split SeekingJusticeInTheatresNow Mar 18, 06:29

All that says to me is teenage girls will see boy movies, while teenage boys won't be caught dead at a girl movie. RogerMore Mar 18, 07:08

Yes, between half-wits and quarter-wits, it was more evenly split. But, as Vince McMahon says, 'morons are profit centers, too.' {nm} DTXbro Mar 18, 11:04

And even the bad reviews usually acknowledge that Bay has technical skill as his films are very distinctive in look and style. {nm} SeekingJusticeInTheatresNow Mar 18, 06:30

Yeah, everyone went to see TFRM3 for the editing! And the sound mixing! {nm} RogerMore Mar 18, 07:09

Well, it did get nominated for Oscars;) {nm} SeekingJusticeInTheatresNow Mar 18, 07:15

And at least one can understand Bay when he talks. Tatum's nickname should be Marblemouth. {nm} SeekingJusticeInTheatresNow Mar 18, 06:41

TATUM 2012 [nm] Nwani Mar 17, 22:22

He is bound to be nominated for his performance! Amazing actor! {nm} Catzan Mar 17, 22:24

I was saying the same thing 2 hours ago. Then I walked in on a little movie called 'Abduction'... KHalloway Mar 17, 22:59
