Given ticketing data based on credit card purchases versus cash, and on line "big data" tracking such as google, foursquare, twitter, and FB, the data maybe more accurate today. The NSA may be able to track us, but the NSA does this with the commercially available tracking information. The NSA just correlates more than a typical corporation and stores it forever. The money isn't just made by movies, but product placement and after market goodies such as video and on line games. Because of the after market-market, they go for people who are willing to spend discretionary income- young adults versus older folks who, like me and my bias, don't give a damn about games. But there is big money in games. Huge money in games. You would probably freak out at how accurate the data is on people's buying habits, and all the industry people care about is money and only money, and they want to know where the money goes, and who spends it. That's probably the most studied human behavior in the world, because it involves money.
Now there is a tendency of investors to have their own taste bias, everyone has bias. One reason we see so many (unnecessary) remakes of old films is that the history of those films is proven, but a remake seldom has the impact of the original- but it makes money. Know that investors in a movie, may also be investors/owners of other related, tie-in industries, and they are looking for vertical income integration. The movie entertainment business is nasty and brutal. I know some lady's son is in the business side of it, I hear stories. He refuses to date actresses (or actors for that matter). Movies industry makes my office politics look like supreme noobies. Soo happy I am not in "show business".
Don't worry about BC...he will be in plenty of shows. The really talented and popular tend to go in cycles. This won't ruin his career. Look at the supremely flaky Robert Downey Jr. His behavior would have got him arrested and unemployed from any regular position. As an actor the only way he's back is apparently he's good.
