The major audience of J.J. Abrams' forthcoming space sci-fi film has been identified.
According to the marketing company Movio (via The Hollywood Reporter), men between the ages 18 and 49 had been the principal buyers of J.J. Abrams' "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" ticket. In fact, the mean age of these buyers was 34.
According to the report, the same ticket buyers habitually went to the theaters on a monthly basis and two-thirds of the number went to films released on their first week. In addition, they spent an average of 2.6 times at the box office more than the usually moviegoers.
The results had been obtained from people who bought the tickets approximately two months prior to the release of the film. In fact, it had been deduced that a young fan remained a solid "Star Wars" fan, since the 49-year-old ticket buyers in the age range were ten or 11 years old when the first film had come out, according to Cinema Blend.
Meanwhile, Abrams' "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" is set 30 years after the events in the "Return of Jedi." It stars an ensemble of both old and new heroes and villains played by Oscar Isaac, Hamill, Max von Sydow, Simon Pegg, Daisy Ridley, Domhnall Gleeson, John Boyega, Gwendoline Christie, Adam Driver, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford, among others.
Abrams' "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" hits theaters on Dec. 18 while Gareth Edwards's "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" premieres on Dec. 16, 2016. Meanwhile, Johnson's "Star Wars: Episode VIII" is slated to premiere in theaters on May 26, 2017 while Colin Trevorrow's "Star Wars: Episode IX" premieres in 2019.
