Very interesting numbers...

On it's way to a 100 million + opening weekend, "the film has generated unusually high ticket sales among women. According to the Hollywood Reporter, 54% of tickets have been purchased by women. A typical superhero movie would draw an audience that is about 40% female. Also atypical is that males 25 and younger accounted for just 12% of Friday ticket sales, far below the total for a male superhero epic."

Anecdotally, the amount of women and young girls in the audience during my first viewing was, well, wondrous. Saw so many college-aged women doing selfies at the promotional posters and cardboard displays.
