“Those adult percentages are quite unusual for an animation fanbase – the only other animation studio that would have that sort of crossover is Studio Ghibli in Japan. “I was surprised, absolutely,” said Observer film critic Wendy Ide. Those numbers have taken some in the industry by surprise.
“ Finding Dory…did well in later show times when younger children are typically in bed $4m worth of business after 7pm on Friday and roughly the same amount after that time on Saturday,” Variety reported, adding that this was “double what Inside Out did in those opening weekend slots, and a signal that adults are nearly as eager to see Dory reconnect with her parents as kids are.” When the US trade magazine Variety crunched box office numbers for Finding Dory they discovered that adults made up 26% of the opening weekend audience, while teenagers accounted for 9% of ticket buyers. The answer may, in large part, be nostalgia. So what’s the secret? Why has this sequel succeeded when others, such as the Johnny Depp-starring Alice Through The Looking Glass or the special effects-laden X-Men: Apocalypse, ignominiously flopped?
