How’s this for good news? Hollywood studios are making more of quality films; films that celebrate the fact that the older audience is actively seeking adventure and passionately looking for new passions to pursue. You can’t ignore that fact that the 45-to-74 year old audience accounts for nearly 40% of all ticket sales.
And maybe the best example of all is The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel — the eagerly awaited sequel to 2012’s surprise smash hit, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
It’s a smart comedy about British retirees settling down in a hotel in India. The sequel reunites the all-star cast, which includes Judi Dench, Maggie Smith (one of the hottest actresses in the world now because of her work on Downton Abbey), Bill Nighy, Dev Patel and others, and adds Richard Gere.
See why we think The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a perfect addition to the Bolder Movies spotlight!
