Most of the top-earning films are also the most expensive to produce, which is why it's actually more profitable to diversify your market into genres that don't require so many special effects, and which appeal to broader audiences, especially when your primary audience is as fickle as men ages 18-34.
Also, and more importantly, part of the reason why dogshit like Twilight sells so well is because there's such a dearth of decent mass-media material targeted toward women, even of the same age group as the men who are typically catered to.
The reason most of the biggest box office earners are more popular with men ages 18-34 is precisely because most pop culture as a whole is made for men ages 18-34.
The fact that you're seriously trotting your justifications out as a valid argument is a logical fallacy on the level of claiming that more women aren't politicians, not because of any institutional biases, but rather because more women simply aren't interested in or qualified for politics.
