...Prometheus (I know), nearly all recent "event" movies have been aimed at adolescents, primarily males IMO. But who has a lot of discretionary income and will soon have a lot of discretionary time on their hands? Retiring baby boomers! Hollywood will either recognize this and change course or it will crash and burn as a famous director/producer type recently opined. Personally, I have faith they'll figure things out but I think it's going to take a while. In the mean time, school begins in a couple of days so adolescent males will have other things to occupy their spare time besides summer blockbuster action movies. Hopefully, Hollywood knows this.
