What American`s Think of the Movies

In a recent survey, performed by In Touch Media Group, an overwhelming number of Americans stated that they would prefer to watch movies without nudity. The survey was designed in a clever way which prompted the subject to actually describe his or her ideal movie. Analysis showed what genres are most popular in the US among other movie statistics. Those who were surveyed gave very surprising answers regarding what type of sexual content they would prefer to see in movies as well as the nature of the comedy which should be employed in a film. People want to be included more in the film making process just as they enjoyed selecting the top singer in American Idol.

The research study is part of an ongoing effort by In Touch Media Group to supply movie studios with vital information for evaluating film treatments, casting decisions, script adjustments, and even to develop the correct marketing message for films already in production. The study itself is a continuing ?real time? process, which can be found at In Touch Media Group. In Touch Media Group is announcing today that it will make this information available in a free beta form to any movie studio or production group that contacts it in the next 30 days. They are providing this information free of charge because they realize that there could be some resistance to the concept, and want to make this valuable data readily available for those with the vision to try new things.

The research project shows that Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts are the most popular actors when considering all types of films. Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard were the choice of many as to who would direct their picture. These names changed when more specific questions where asked about film genres. Mel Gibson was preferred over Tom Hanks when people chose a dramatic theme for their film genre. The study can also show when one type of film genre will reach a saturation point and how to discover new trends in viewing habits. There are also certain negative indicators that are identified by this research that if not heeded could wreck a film?s chance for box office success.
