Online ticket service Fandango reported on Tuesday that Magic Mike is already generating 36 precent of all pre-sale business, a sure sign that females are making set plans to see the film (there also was big pre-sale business for Sex and the City).

THR on WB marketing [MGCMK] to Moms and Gays on Jun 26, 12:17
nice... i wonder how big is gay population in the wonderful US of A? {nm} on Jun 26, 12:24
1 in 10, isn't it? {nm} on Jun 26, 13:27
Around one in 100 to one in 200. That 10% is from Kinsey and totally discredited. So at most 3.5 million men. who might or might not be on Jun 26, 13:37
Maybe meant 1-in-10 movie goers. ;-) {nm} on Jun 26, 13:49
Well, wait a minute... on Jun 29, 18:07
fwiw, the hard-to-please Jeffrey Wells loved it. on Jun 26, 12:27
Is there something we should know about J. Wells? Hmmmm... {nm} on Jun 26, 15:34
Two other good performing movies Berlesque($39M) and Stripetease($33M) had major star power behind them. on Jun 26, 13:48
That's apples and oranges.. Burlesque was a PG13 musical.. Striptease is better..but it made 12.3 on its OW {nm} on Jun 26, 14:27
According to this source Striptease opened @ $33M. They're probably wrong, as it does seem high. on Jun 26, 14:37
33M was the total domestic. I would also say that women will see movies about naked women more than men will see movies about naked men {nm} on Jun 26, 15:02
Well, said. Also, I question the how many gay men, are going to out themselves, by insisting on going to see this movie for the "plot". {nm} on Jun 26, 15:06
I don't see it as an "outing" issue. Just a numbers issue. Its an R-rated film about male strippers. The ceiling seems limited {nm} on Jun 26, 15:09
Uh-oh. Don't say R-rated movies with offbeat subject matter have limited audiences. I hinted at that yesterday and they tore me a new one. on Jun 26, 16:54
It's probably proportional to the men that get Playboy for the "articles". {nm} on Jun 26, 15:47
It has articles? {nm} on Jun 26, 16:56
