Celebrity Business Analyst Comments on Changes in What Attracts Moviegoers
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 11, 2013 -- CelebrityBusinessAnalyst.com released its comments today on what it thinks draws movie fans to theaters these days as opposed to years past. The discussion follows a July 5 Yahoo! Movies article that asks whether big-name movie stars are worth the amount they ask per movie.
It’s common to hear of Hollywood actors like Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, or Will Smith making well over $50 million for a film. Satellite television deals, cable reruns, and DVD sales contribute to backend deals which also provide profits for actors. Normally, it’s not such a big deal for companies to shell out that kind of salary, particularly when one of those names will bring in large audiences and help the film perform well at the box office. However, several projected blockbusters with highly paid celebrities in starring roles didn’t do as well as their production companies had hoped this summer. For example, Smith’s After Earth, which was supposed to be Sony’s summer tent-pole, opened at a disappointing $27.5 million.
"It seems that big celebrity names are not the main things that attract moviegoers to the theaters anymore," says Celebrity Business Analyst. "Instead, audiences today are drawn to theaters by concepts, plots, and franchises. People want to be presented with an intriguing new idea. Familiar franchises are also popular with audiences right now. This is one of the reasons there have been so many movies based on comics and former popular movies and television series."
Celebrity Business Analyst released its comments today on what it thinks brings viewers to the cinema these days. The site stated that it seems like audiences are less interested in going to the movies to see specific popular actors and are more attracted to the film’s concept and recognizable franchises.
