The studio executive said nothing about age. The writer of that piece makes the same assumption you do.

And they're also wrong.

V preview: 355 $5 million to $7 million Antibody Jan 05, 14:05

That seems pretty generous to 355. I can't see it making 7M. {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 14:58

I'm sure headline writers are rooting for it to make less than 3.55 million. {nm} notfabio Jan 05, 15:29

I think 3-5M is the range for it. Unless reviews happen to be good, Omnicron disappears and pigs fly {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 15:32

The reviews don't matter. Neither does Omicron. People will go see what they want to see. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 05, 16:28

(Though I bet 90% of the tickets sold at AMC in NYC are Stubs A-List members... still counts, though) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 05, 16:30

Disagree as usual with what you say {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 17:06

Its a movie that will have an older leaning audience and they are the ones concerned with Omnicron {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 17:08

The younger audience who have driven sales for Spidey and others are not going to see 355 {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 17:08

You are completely out of touch with real moviegoers, people who go to movies and will see whatever's playing in any given week. TheWeekendWarrior Jan 05, 17:18

Older audience (over 40) are not going to the movies at the rate they were before. FACT. You are the 1 out of touch. {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 17:21

"48" {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 17:21

Its why older adult dramas are failing. The audience are not going to watch them at the cinema. They stream it. {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 17:22

Last Duel, WSS, LP, NA, Cry Macho all underperformed because the target demiographic (older) are not going to watch them like before ad48 Jan 05, 17:39

THIS IS ACROSS THE BOARD. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AGE. TheWeekendWarrior Jan 05, 17:44

Nothing to do with "my feelings" its in the demo breakdowns of who saw the movies. Mine is based on facts. Yours is ego. {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 17:48

Variety article inside "quote inside" Dec 26 (quick google brought it up as an example) ad48 Jan 05, 17:52

A pull quote from a marketing talking head is not DATA or FACTS. TheWeekendWarrior Jan 05, 18:03

And comments like this one are flat-out ageism. How old are you? 25? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 05, 17:20

Between you and Antibody its getting quite boring. I really dont agree with any of your "gut feelings". Just review the movies as you do. {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 18:20

Your box office knowledge is limited (Spidey 115 was it? or 150?), numerous examples. Would not matter what I post, you will troll it. {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 18:21

I am not going to post anymore on this topic. Anyone who follows box office knows exactly what I have said and its boring going in circles {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 18:23

I dont think I can be bothered posting here. I will see if I will continue to play HSX. Give it a few days and see how I feel. {nm} ad48 Jan 05, 18:25

I'm an old man; I'd go see the movie if I was the least bit interested. It looks perfectly dreadful. goodvibe61 Jan 05, 18:40

I was going to say from what I've seen so far my gut says it could struggle to get 5M this weekend. Struggle. {nm} goodvibe61 Jan 05, 18:41

Well I've seen the movie... TheWeekendWarrior Jan 05, 19:01
