Cinemascore

"CinemaScore polls reported that the average grade cinemagoers gave the film was a "B-minus" on an A+ to F scale,[56] with exit polls showing that 51% of the audience was male, and 59% was at least 25 years old or older.[57]"

Actually, that link was talking about He's Just Not That Into You, not Friday the 13th. Even then, I don't see anything there about the B- rating. Removed it. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.175.145.151 (talk) 10:33, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it does. Here is the quote:

"That $42.2 million sum is the top first-weekend figure for any movie in the nearly 30-year-old "Friday the 13th" series -- including the 2003 mashup, Freddy vs. Jason, which premiered with $36.4 million. In fact, the original "Friday the 13th" movie, from 1980, grossed just $39.7 million during its entire run, not adjusted for inflation. In addition, this marks the best bow ever for a horror remake, besting "The Grudge's" $39.1 million debut gross. And it arrives despite a weak B- CinemaScore review from an audience that skewed male."

The second part is quoted in the second source, which states:

"Friday the 13th was marketed as the event of all slasher movies and ads promised a rollercoaster rush. Horror can appeal to both genders equally, making Friday the 13th more of a date movie in many circles than He's Just Not That Into You or Confessions of a Shopaholic, which each heavily skewed female. Distributor Warner Bros.' exit polling bore this out, showing an audience composition of 51 percent male and 59 percent 25 years and older."

So yes, it does actually say those figures are related to Friday the 13th. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 13:24, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
