I've been reading some things from Bruce Austin but the only things that I've been able to get my hands on are outdated. I'm wondering if anyone can lead me to some recent info/research on audiences (movie theater audiences.) I haven't focused my research yet on any particular aspect which is why I'd like to know what is out there now, what has been or is being done as far as research, surveys, etc., anything pert. to audiences, their motivations, expectations, reactions, etc.- but please, no CNN polls... Lastly, I want to get accurate, up-to-date statistics on attendance at the theaters. I don't need box-office $$$ figures (I can find that on the front page of the newspaper), I need numbers of attendance in the US. Where would I go (what source) to find these figures? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Post or email di-rectly. Drew McElligott ([log in to unmask]) ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
