* The film of ''[[The Lovely Bones]]'' had an initially unintentional Audience Shift. It was made tame enough to be rated PG-13 [[So My Kids Can Watch|so the scriptwriters' children could watch it]], and in marketing tests it did much, much better with teenage girls than with adults. Paramount advertised it heavily on fan blogs for ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]''.
* ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'', where Andy's age roughly mirrored the viewers'. [[Toy Story 3]], released fifteen years after ''1'', is pretty much about the loss of childhood innocence and entering the adult world, and is very much written with the college audience as the first priority.
* ''[[Star Wars]]'' arguably went from a sci-fi series with adults in mind to a [[Lighter and Softer|version more suitable for children]] starting with ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'', children having been a large [[Periphery Demographic]] of the series since its release.
* ''[[Clash of the Titans]]'' went from being a film for families and young children with the original to being a movie for teenage boys and college students for the remake (as a way to emulate the success of violent action films such as ''[[300]]'').
