Fearnet: What ‘New Moon’ means for Hollywood
In a new article for Fearnet, Jen Yamato discusses the changes that will be made in Hollywood with the wild success of New Moon. Here are the main points.
So how could the increasing successes of Twilight and New Moon affect how movies are made and sold? We consider what New Moon’s popularity could mean for Hollywood.
Female audiences demand to be catered to.
Twilight was always a female-oriented property, thanks to a high quotient of moony eyes, forbidden love, and romantic longing courtesy of author Stephenie Meyer. And studio execs perked up when the fantasy book-turned-indie film raked in over $69M its opening weekend, making back its budget by double. But as evidenced by worldwide masses of screaming fans, a sprawling fansite community, and its blockbuster box office performance, New Moon is no accidental success – women will buy tickets, they will go multiple times to the movies, and they will bring their friends/daughters/mothers. And they’ll even go to horror-themed movies – that is, if the movie gives them what they want.
