Would anyone go to see a female lead sci fi movie...if it wasn't supported by the words "Star Wars?"

--Star Wars.....male characters except for Princess Leia......are they making a solo movie for her? Or Han Solo?

Avatar..didn't see it, but the main character is a paralyzed guy......

Jurassic World....yeah, the lead is a female Dinosaur....dinosaurs sell, not female leads........and Chris Pratt?

Avengers ...let's see, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye........Black Widow.....

Not making your point.....

Thanks for bringing that up...did you see the honest Trailers from Youtube.......there was also a review that pointed out that that movie was a bait and switch...they promised Mad Max...and gave us Charlize Theron.......had it been a Charlize Theron movie........half as successful....if successful at all.....

Prove that, and let me know, the movie was a huge blow out hit.

Besides your premise in the op is no one goes to actions movies with female leads. NOT who makes more money.

You are movie the bar because you know I blew your premise out of the water.

Get over it.

My original post sets the bar.......you have yet to prove it wrong.

No you keep moviing the bar and you do it by claiming men make more money WHICH YOU HAVE YET TO PROVE, I might add.

Further you claimed women don't like action movies.

I already disproved that, as well.

Let's look at the original post again...

The truth is.....boys and men go to see action movies, women do not.......that is the general rule. As such they like to see men in the lead......and unless you have a successful video game lead in to a movie like Tomb Raider, if you have a female lead, the movie will not do as well...

The question is...with the new P.C. nature of Star Wars....would any of these sci fi movies have done well if they didn't have Star Wars in the title? Would these movies draw audience if they were originals, and had female leads to headline the movie?

I think not.......

So.....lazy, P.C. hollywood has to pass off their P.C. agenda like hilary...on the Coat tails of others who are successful......

A recent case in point......Mila Kunis....Jupiter Ascending...true...it was just a bad movie.....but did the fact that she was the lead hurt the money it made....until of course the first showing killed it once everyone saw it was a horrible movie and tweeted and facebooked it to death?

At what point in that post do I say No One goes to action movies with a female lead.....I even state in the original post that movies that stem from video games are popular even with female leads....but you need that tie in to get people to the theater...

Next time think a little more before titling your ops.

Star Wars- ensemble cast
Avatar- two leads- male and female- you didn't see it- so what the fucks are you talking about in this thread?
Jurassic World- Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard
Avengers- ensemble cast

And Hunger Games? Jennifer Lawrence

Hunger Games and Aliens demonstrates your basic premise is flawed.

What we don't know is why you are so intimidated by strong female leads in films.

Well, our narrow minded op tries to get away from that by saying men have made more in action flicks.

Which is disingenuous, because there are a heck of a lot of action flicks out there with men that made a whole lot LESS.

But, I guess that's beside the point, in his very narrow view.

[Syriusly]

And let's not forget, women doing well in Action flicks isn't just an American thing.

Look at the movie that "Kill Bill" is based on, "Lady Snow Blood.'

Vs. Toshiro Mifune or Zatoichi films? Or the Wolf and Cub?

Look you are equivocating.

Your premise was that NO ONE would go to see an action movie with female lead outside Star Wars.

When that false premise blew up, you moved the bar to, "well guys bring in more money."

That, you know you can't prove.

You are just sticking with it, to try and save face because you know your original premise, the title of your very op, has been blown to smithereens.

Stop digging the hole deeper and making yourself look foolish.

No....you are not stating the opening post accurately ...

The truth is.....boys and men go to see action movies, women do not.......that is the general rule. As such they like to see men in the lead......and unless you have a successful video game lead in to a movie like Tomb Raider, if you have a female lead, the movie will not do as well...

At no point did I say No One....so please, let's be accurate...

"Would anyone go to see a female lead" - right in the title- which you keep ignoring.

Here is a list of top female action heroes.

Female Action Heroes: A Look at Best Movie Characters

Compare their box office nets with those of male action stars.

I am not saying people never go to see them....I am stating that women do less well at the box office and attract less of a following than men.....and that if the new movies didn't have Star Wars attacked to them, the women wouldn't draw in half as much money.

You are saying Kill Bill or Aliens did worse than say Terminator Genysis? LOL!

If you average it most men action movies make more at the box office compared to female action movies.

A) that's not what the op is about. It was that NO ONE (look at the title) would go see an action movie with a female lead.

B) I have yet to see any of you prove the second premise which doesn't matter because it wasn't what the op was about in the first place.

We only have 2 choices. Who make more moneys at the box office Male or Female?
My point is male action movies make more money at the box office.

People went to see the original Alien in droves...the alien bursting out of the chest was new, original and the special effect of that scene was discussed on the local news networks....she was the only survivor....since it was a horror film, so she was the tie in to the previous movie.......guys went to see the film because the aliens were cool...not to see Sigourney Weaver....

Nope...not wrong......female stars are paid less, their movies earn less.....and the only reason they will be successful in the Star Wars movies as the leads....is because they are Star Wars movies....
