6. They pretty much are that, anyway.

I live next to a movie theatre, so I see all the opening night audiences and they are at least 75% male for most of this type of movie (and I think I'm underestimating).

Interestingly - we get free tickets to movies - they've had advance special showings for people in our apartment for a bunch of movies, the male movies. They aren't doing it for this one, though.

(My favorite crowds were the little girls coming to see "Cinderella" wearing princess dresses, and the mothers and daughters who came for the "Frozen" singalong!)
