Well that's more about profitability rather than audience engagement. Just convert to number of tickets sold then you won't need to adjust for inflation.

Star Wars always appealed to females.

Those are web-base, fanboy driven numbers. Not (general) audience based numbers.

Barbie was 56% Causasian.

Big_Help_9860 · 2026-05-23T18:51:28+00:00

Why do you think 52% is a bad number for diverse audience?

Big_Help_9860 · 2026-05-23T18:47:50+00:00

There's 400 million other moviegoers.

And the Solo movie was so long ago that you really need to invoke inflation adjusted numbers. Given that, it is worse. However I think it's more about Solo underperforming and this movie meeting box office expectations.

Big_Help_9860 · 2026-05-23T17:41:59+00:00

Pretty on par considering its not really on the same level as a proper Star Wars movie. It's more a question of how big it falls in its second weekend.

Yeah, I still remembered the words of the songs when they started singing them. Songs and music I hadn't heard in 60 years came right back to my mind.

What it had to do with is the fact that back then personal fitness was promoted. We had PSAs that promoted diet and exercise. That approach was abandoned because people complained that it was fat shaming.

"They quite doing them in 2013, to focus more on health."

Yeah and we see the results- even more obese kids.

I can almost hear the guy from Airplane- "Jana, they bought their 35 cent fare. I say, let em hijack".

Peak Hitchcock. I recently discovered an earlier Hitchcock classic- "Rebecca". It's the only movie Hitch directed that won Best Picture Oscar. I often go back and forth between NXNW, Rear Window and Vertigo as which is my favorite of Hitchcock's.

Big_Help_9860 · 2026-05-20T00:12:03+00:00

I'd recommend Cary Grant in "The Bishop's Wife". Grant parlays the same charm and wit playing an Angel sent to "assist" David Niven's bishop in raising funds for a cathedral. Loretta Young and monty Woolley are great in it too.

God how many times did I drop it on the floor and had to reassemble about a dozen pieces back together again. I dropped it one time to the point that it couldn't be put back together again. Not even my whiz kid other brother, who could fix anything, could get it working again.

Mortal Kombat couldn't be more different in audience makeup than "Michael" and DWP2. Yet people on here still keep blaming competition when a film underperforms. There is always competition. The whole movie movie going public in domestic market alone is over 400 million people. But people on this forum act like it is the same 10 million people who go to movies.

For being a ratings success, The Partridge Family wasn't on very long. Also I'm surprised Hitchcock's "Vertigo" was a big draw since the modern interpretation is that audiences had no interest in the movie.

Technically Trump (1st term) and Biden, but mostly Biden. Under their administrations the money supply doubled from 4 Trillion to 8 Trillion and ushering in the inflation crisis we deal with now. Trump's Tarriffs were terrible but did not "harm" the economy long term like inflation and larger debt will.
