Now, theaters are hoping that Swifties will continue to turn out to theaters this weekend while the legendary Martin Scorsese brings in the cinephiles. As “Eras Tour” charges into its second weekend, Paramount will release Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” a dark historical epic with a reported $200 million budget from Apple Original Films.

According to CinemaScore, a whopping 80% of opening weekend attendees were female, compared to the 65% who were female on the opening weekend of July’s blockbuster “Barbie.” The audience skewed younger as well, with 30% of moviegoers falling between the ages of 25-34, 23% between the ages of 18 and 24 and an impressive 20% under the age of 18.
