It’s Monday and that means a new Facebook Fandom Spotlight looking at the general comic book fan population on Facebook. This week it felt appropriate to look at fans of the comic and movie 300 whose sequel opened this past weekend.

For this report, I looked at terms related to the movie or comic for instance “300 (comics)” and “300 (movie). There weren’t many terms, but a handful.

Facebook Population: Over 3,600,000 fans in the US

The size of the number of likes is decent for only a few terms. Spanish speakers account for 460,000 fans, 12.78%. That’s lower than the general comic fans 15%.

Gender and Age

While comic fans are about 46-47% female, fans of 300 breaks down 72.22% male and 25% female. It’s reported the opening weekend the audience for the latest movie was 62% male, so take into account date night, and this makes sense.

We’ll next look at how the percentage of women and men break down through age.
