This isn’t surprising since a pic like Angels & Demons appeals to mature adult audiences, and online ticket sales favor young moviegoers. MovieTickets.com is reporting that, as of 9 AM PT, Angels & Demons accounts for 33% of tickets sold on the site today, while Star Trek leads with 49%.
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.





I thought mature audiences didn’t go to the movies anymore. Remember two weeks ago, with State of Play? (Does Angels and Demons really count as a grown-up film?)
Don’t really care about Angels and Demons since based on Critics ratings it looks like it will be just about as bad as the DA Vinci Code. However, I hope that Finke will be on top of things tomorrow as the premier of T4 is at the Graumann in Hollywood or so I have read. Maybe word will leak out as to how good or bad this film is.
I have a real bad feeling about Angels and Demons…
I also have a real bad feeling about Night at the Museum…
ANGELS AND DEMONS is in trouble. Why do you think Hanks and Howard spammed the Daily Show / Colbert crowd last night?
You are a jewel!
I love how well, and how hard, and how seriously you work to keep us informed of all the data we want to know, and all the data we need to know.
YOU…make a difference in our lives. We are the outsiders who try to break the mold. You are our insider, our interpreter, our guardian angel.
Love ya forever,
Michael
Angels & Demons appears to be doing better than I thought. I saw it during the week and thought it was a solid, occasionally ridiculous, well made thriller. Nothing more. Certainly better than the first one.
But Trek’s second weekend will be fascinating. A part of me is dreading all the crow I’m going to have to eat after I dismissed it’s chances of crossing into the mainstream audience. Anything less than a 50% drop and it’s looking good for the next few weeks.
Blargh.
