Moms are getting in on the action.

The majority of women ticket buyers older than 25, and that means older women are devouring a movie about werewolves and vampires. (Of course they’re going for the romance, but still.)

A healthy helping of romance never hurts, either. If we like what we see in a genre film, we’ll get behind a franchise, a fact not lost on the team behind James Cameron’s Avatar, a science-fiction epic that 20th Century Fox hopes will capture the elusive, important female demographic.
