> The top audiences for Logan were actually a combination of superhero (which we already knew) and “rugged male action lead” (which we didn’t know with certainty). This can be better seen by noting that key “rugged male action lead” predictions like The Magnificent Seven (in blue above), John Wick (in green above) and Terminator Genisys (in blue above) were also present in the top 20 list of actual audiences. This result is a win-win because the new audience “adds” to the core superhero audience, and can potentially be used to extend the reach of the movie beyond that core audience.
I wish they'd include saturation and release dates as factors as I'm sure releasing a new rugged make lead superhero movie every week would have diminishing returns at some point.

- sametmax 8y agoNope, it just financially works so why do otherwise. People still pay no mater how many bad movies they got fed with.
- duado 8y agoThose diminishing returns haven’t seemed to happen yet. What is it this year... Avengers vs. Batman?
- setr 8y agoThose aren’t “rugged” male leads

- dylan604 8y agoI guess the ML doesn't read the news, as there was a recent release stating that movies with strong female leads make more money [0]. Seems like the ML would figure that out, and lean heavily against 'rugged male action lead' dominate movies. [0]https://www.bbc.com/news/business-46539473 https://www.bbc.com/news/business-46539473
