I think kids remain a very viable audience, however, parents aren't going to spend $4 on a part 6 of 9 and/or commit to finding the earlier ones and buying the later ones. I think we all know what needs to be done, i.e., simpler and more concise storylines, be much more affordable, and to tone down the sexual and violent themes. Adult fans may need to pass on the baton to the next generation.
