The analysts at CableTV.com created a national report revealing each state’s favorite romantic comedy film. Which rom-com classics does America enjoy the most?
Read the full report here:
Report highlights include:
- Over one in every four states chooses Pretty in Pink as their rom-com top choice! All hail, John Hughes.
- Everyone likes a movie that hails from their hometown: every one in seven states most enjoys movies filmed in their state the most.
- We found predictable patterns of viewing behavior — clusters of romantic comedies dominate certain areas of the country.
- Some popular favorites by state enforce regional clichés that are just too good to pass up commenting on:
- Maine, which has the oldest median age in the United States, goes old school with It Happened One Night.
- Oregon keeps it weird with Amélie, a quirky French film about an off-beat romance.
- South Dakota, which rates in the top five highest birth rates in the U.S., gets Knocked Up a little more often.
To determine each State’s favorite romantic comedy film, our analyst team used a Google-generated list of top rom coms and ran them through Google Trends to find out which movies see the most love from state to state.
Thank you,
