Are Millennials and Gen Z even in to Westerns?
Question above. Trying to understand the reason behind this not making money.
shareThey're not. The demographics for this were revealed, 47% of attendees were 55+ years of age. That's an insane skew, it's largely why it's doing poorly. Teenagers and young adults aren't interested.
shareI saw it last weekend and my wive and I were the youngest people in the theater. :)
shareMust be nice feeling young again Mrmojo. I have to ask, was the audience well behaved, being so old and all? (Teens normally get the blame for rowdy audiences that ruin the experience.)
One of the better audiences I had at a theatre was for Midsommar (2019). A hipster horror movie, not many were in attendance. Everyone was attentive and you could hear a pin drop (save for one instance when some poor woman groaned when a particularly gory scene happened).
In comparison Halloween (2018) was a disaster. A bunch of fucking idiots were at that one! Practically ruined the movie.
I’d say it was closest to your Midsommar experience, with the only interruptions being the occasional boomer going to the restroom. :)
shareMust have been at the same theatre I was with Halloween. Lol. I watched it opening day and the teenager and preteens talked loudly throughout it and half even started filing the movies with their iPhones. It was one of the worst experiences I had.
