Movie Marketers, Meet Your Ideal Audience

5 minute read | October 2008

It may come as no surprise, but now the proof has arrived: males under 25 and females over 25 have almost polar opposite tastes in movies. 

Thatโ€™s one of many findings from Nielsen PreViewโ€™s new Movie Partnership Calculator, which allows marketers to match upcoming movie titles with specific demographic targets.ย  The calculator uses survey data profiles from Nielsen Entertainmentโ€™s MarketNavigator to identify movies that are likely to resonate with key demographic groups.

For now, mothers and their young sons may struggle to agree on movies, but thereโ€™s hope for date night.  According to Nielsenโ€™s calculator, males and females under 25 share a taste for raunchy comedies and franchise horror flicks, like โ€œRole Modelsโ€ and โ€œSaw Vโ€ — due in theaters later this fall.

Find out which movie audiences are likely to see future movie releases — go to Nielsenโ€™s calculator.
