The lackluster opening weekend (in comparison to other Pixar movies) was not because women didn't see it. It's because parents with little boys didn't take them to see it because they thought it would be a "girl's movie" and people still think that idiocy is important, and parents with little girls didn't take them to see it because it was marketed as a "gender neutral" (ie for boys) movie instead of as the usual princess stuff girls are usually given.

Children are still the primary audience for animated movies and probably always will be. They are the ones who beg their parents to take them to see it, which is why complete crap like the Madagascar movies make so much bank. While adult animation fans are there, it's pretty ridiculous to assume that the reason it didn't make as money as it could have lies with them.

And it far from tanked.

... the audience was 43% male. It was a success BECAUSE it drew both girls and boys, something everyone was doubting and saying wouldn't happen and oh it would tank because only girls would see it ... (because movies that only draw male crowds always succeed? The fuck?)

Just wanted to let you know. Parents were and are taking their sons to see this movie. A lot of my male friends went to see it. I went to see it with my mother, for her birthday.

I went to see it on Sunday and there were both little boys and little girls in the audience (with mothers and fathers and friends, etc.). To my right were two girls who adored every minute and to my left was a boy who adored it just as much. And tonight while I was out at dinner I heard a boy ask his parents if he could learn to use a bow "like in Brave."

Gave me hope and all that crap.

Awww! I hope he gets to learn.
