Teens Like Going Out to See Movies –

They Just Don’t Care Which Ones

Os adolescentes gostam de sair para ver filmes –

Eles simplesmente não se importam com quais

I have always said there is nothing like going to the movie theater. There is something wonderful about going to the cinema, joining a crowd of people to share in a viewing experience of a project that took thousands of people over months and months and months of time and took millions of dollars and loads of creative energy from hundreds of artists and professionals…. all so you can take your seat and sit back for 2 hours to enjoy. I love it. And with all due respects to home theater enthusiasts (of which I am a minor one myself), but NOTHING in any home can come close to the experience of watching a film in a theater. At least that’s my opinion.

It seems that the majority of teens believe that also…well…sort of.

Our friends over at a film site give us this:

• A new report from a financial services firm attempts to capture the media habits of a modern-day teenager. The findings conclude that teenagers are “very reluctant” to pay for music (80 percent download it illegally, most have never bought a CD) and 10 the majority consider newspapers and other print media as “irrelevant.” The good news (at least for Hollywood) is that despite the availability of movies on bit torrent sites, going to the movies is one of only a “few beneficiaries” teens consider worthy of payment (concerts and video games also appear on that list).
• The bad news is that teenagers don’t really care which movie they see. According to the study, most teens look at movies as more of a social gathering/experience, and often don’t even choose the film until after they arrive at the movie theater.

So going to the theater is still considered one of the great social activities… they just don’t decide what to see until they get there.

❑ RADUÇÃO DO TEXTO:

Teens Like Going Out to See Movies –

They Just Don’t Care Which Ones

Os adolescentes gostam de sair para ver filmes –

Eles simplesmente não se importam com quais

I have always said there is nothing like going to the movie theater.

Sempre disse que não há nada como ir ao cinema.

There is something wonderful about going to the cinema, joining a crowd of people to share in a viewing experience of a project that took thousands of people over months and months and months of time and took millions of dollars and loads of creative energy from hundreds of artists and professionals…. all so you can take your seat and sit back for 2 hours to enjoy.

Há algo de maravilhoso em ir ao cinema, juntar-se a uma multidão para partilhar a experiência de assistir a um projeto que levou milhares de pessoas ao longo de meses e meses e consumiu milhões de dólares e muita energia criativa de centenas de artistas e profissionais... tudo para que se possa sentar e relaxar durante 2 horas para desfrutar.

I love it. And with all due respects to home theater enthusiasts (of which I am a minor one myself), but NOTHING in any home can come close to the experience of watching a film in a theater. At least that’s my opinion.

Eu adoro isso. E com todo o respeito pelos entusiastas de cinema em casa (dos quais eu sou um pouco mais pequeno), NADA em qualquer casa pode chegar perto da experiência de ver um filme no cinema. Pelo menos é a minha opinião.

It seems that the majority of teens believe that also…well…sort of.

Parece que a maioria dos adolescentes também acredita nisso... bem... mais ou menos.

Our friends over at a film site give us this:

Os nossos amigos num site de filmes deram-nos isto:

• A new report from a financial services firm attempts to capture the media habits of a modern-day teenager. The findings conclude that teenagers are “very reluctant” to pay for music (80 percent download it illegally, most have never bought a CD) and 10 the majority consider newspapers and other print media as “irrelevant.” The good news (at least for Hollywood) is that despite the availability of movies on bit torrent sites, going to the movies is one of only a “few beneficiaries” teens consider worthy of payment (concerts and video games also appear on that list).
• Um novo relatório de uma empresa de serviços financeiros tenta captar os hábitos mediáticos de um adolescente moderno. Os resultados concluem que os adolescentes são “muito relutantes” em pagar pela música (80% fazem downloads ilegais, a maioria nunca comprou um CD) e 10% consideram os jornais e outros meios impressos como “irrelevantes”. A boa notícia (pelo menos para Hollywood) é que, apesar da disponibilidade de filmes nos sites de torrents, ir ao cinema é um dos poucos "beneficiários" que os adolescentes consideram dignos de pagamento (os concertos e os videojogos também aparecem nesta lista).
• The bad news is that teenagers don’t really care which movie they see. According to the study, most teens look at movies as more of a social gathering/experience, and often don’t even choose the film until after they arrive at the movie theater.
• A má notícia é que os adolescentes não ligam muito ao filme que vêem. De acordo com o estudo, a maioria dos adolescentes vê os filmes mais como uma experiência/encontro social e, muitas vezes, nem sequer escolhe o filme até chegar ao cinema.

So going to the theater is still considered one of the great social activities… they just don’t decide what to see until they get there.

Portanto ir ao teatro ainda é considerado uma das grandes atividades sociais… só decidem o que ver quando lá chegam.
