Why was it successful?: The First Time is a coming of age film, a style that will always be popular. Though it did not make as much profit as a high budget Hollywood film would have, it is a much loved film with teenage girls. The cast of the film were a good choice to put this film on the road to success as the film was clearly aimed at teenage girls, many of whom would have grown up over the last few years watching channels such as Nickelodeon, a channel where Victoria Justice has been on multiple television shows. However, now that they are old enough to watch films such as The First Time, they will have moved on to older shows, such as Teen Wolf (Dylan O'Brien) who's demographic is largely female. Therefore, the stars of this film are very important to why it was successful.
