Responses:

Amy wants to see it. She hates zombies. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 12:26
the last run of trailers was really well-cut. it showed tension and action; made the movie seem smarter. -- nm - amanda Jun 24, 12:20
This is interesting: "World War Z's audience was 51 percent female and 67 percent were 25 years of age or older" - MDH Jun 24, 12:13 2
- Hmm. It has a chance at decent legs with those demographics. -- nm - Inigo Jun 24, 12:25 1
  - but zombies have a bad habit of losing limbs -- nm - zork Jun 24, 12:26
For reference, WWZ made more in it's opening weekend than every other zombie movie ever did in their entire run... - Inigo Jun 24, 12:11 4
- I think I Am Legend should be included in the comparison. -- nm - Max Jun 24, 12:13 3
  - They're kind of vampire/zombie hybrids. The novel was definitely vampires. -- nm - Inigo Jun 24, 12:15 2
    - Considering how fast they move in WWZ, they are not true zombies. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 12:29 1
      - hee hee, "true" zombies -- nm - Max Jun 24, 12:30
i think a lot had to do with Pitt, but also the massive scale of the movie.. everybody wants to see widespread zombies. -- nm - colin Jun 24, 12:07 1
- We saw it mainly because it seemed to be a movie that needed to be seen on the big screen. Plus, zombies and looked like lots of action. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 12:12
75% zombies. 25% Brad Pitt -- nm - charlie Jun 24, 12:06
number of sold tickets -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jun 24, 12:06 3
- I think you're on to something here. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 24, 12:07 2
