America’s holiday moviegoers
As several highly-touted movies debut this holiday season, we wanted to know how many Americans intend to see at least one movie in a theater over the holidays.
Here’s what our national scientific poll found: thirty-nine percent say yes, 48% say no, and 13% are undecided.
The age group most likely going to a holiday film: 45-64 year olds (46%), followed by 30-44 year olds (42%), 18-29 year olds (39%). The least likely movie goers: 65+ year olds (23%).
Democrats (42%) and independents (42%) are more inclined to go to a holiday movie than Republicans (35%).
Poll Position’s scientific telephone survey of 1,133 registered voters nationwide was conducted December 15, 2011 and has a margin of error of ±3%. Poll results are weighted to be a representative sampling of all American adults.
