A lot of what you picked connects to when people have off from school.

> Why do senior citizens come to movies in flocks more than younger people not to mention they go to the movies on the slow days but younger people don’t as much?

similar reasoning to the last one...they've got free time and nothing better to do

Old people are an audience that was out of the theater game big time from the pandemic and only started to return. Since they are older seeing stars they are familiar with is a major draw to them, as is the tired genre and plot. Seeing as so many movies look back on their generation and all of their mistakes it's no wonder the fantasy of Top Gun topped the domestic box office.
