>During the pandemic, Hollywood worried that Gen Zers would never get into the habit of going to theaters, preferring streaming on their smartphones instead. But Gen Z is now the most active cinemagoing demographic, attending more films per year than their elders, according to a new Fandango study. They’re also spending more per visit on concessions and on premium format screens like Imax.>Millennials treat moviegoing as an escape from daily routine, while Gen Z sees it primarily as a social activity. Gen Z also attributes a better selection of movies and the appeal of leaving the home as key drivers of attendance. In contrast, Gen X cites rising ticket prices, fewer appealing releases, and better at-home options as reasons for going less often. “While there has been a perception that Gen Z is less engaged with theatrical moviegoing, our data shows that their momentum has been building,” says Jerramy Hainline, executive VP at Fandango. “What’s especially notable is how strongly they value the shared, communal aspect of the experience, reinforcing that theaters continue to play an important role as a social destination for younger audiences.”https://variety.com/2026/film/box-office/gen-z-driving-box-office-1236703551/

>Gen Z moviegoers are driving the box office, according to a new Fandango study.>87% of Gen Zers and 82% of millennials saw at least one movie in theaters in the past 12 months, compared to 70% of Gen Xers and 58% of baby boomers. >Gen Z and millennials also returned more frequently, with each demo averaging about seven visits per year, ahead of Gen X (6.1) and baby boomers (5.7).basically both zoomers and millennials are keeping theaters alive seeing a bunch of different movies, GenXers are just taking their kids to children's movies and maybe a random movie their interested in, and boomers are watching blockbusters
>>219505481They are ruining the theater experience
>>219514339This is very true and especially with gen alpha.It's not just a non-white thing anymore
>>219505481The younger generations have always been the main filmgoing audience. The problem is a smaller percentage of them go to movies now compared to previous generations which is why box office is shit.
>>219517395What I mean is they might go to one movie a year but they do not go as frequently as previous generations went.
