“Just what does ‘four-quadrant’ mean? It’s a movie that appeals to all four main demographic groups—young and old, male and female.”

Meet the Four Quadrents
“Brief definition of a 4Q Film: The film that appeals to all four quadrants, or demographic groups. They’re broad and will be enjoyed by males over 25, males under 25, woman over 25, and woman under 25. These are the four target marketing groups. They’re universally themed and marketed internationally. Titantic, Harry Potter, The Incredibles, and Juno, are examples of 4Q films.”
