Theater managers only choose to show films that will make them a profit, and film producers want as many theaters as possible to show their films. Therefore, film producers make films that theater managers think young audiences will like.

There is a gap in the argument between the premises, which focus on general claims about what films will be shown in theaters, and the conclusion, which makes a specific statement about films young audiences like. There is therefore a necessary assumption that fills that gap - something that explains why the fact that young audiences like a film would help that film turn a profit and get shown in theaters.

The focus of the premises is on the profit of a film - the fact that children generally consume more theater snacks is not a necessary step in establishing that children generally help films make more of a profit.

If anything this would hurt the argument - it gives a reason why films targeted at younger audiences would be less profitable and therefore less likely to be shown.

The argument is focused on what types of movies film producers will be most profitable - not on which parts of a theater are most responsible for that potential profit.

This fills the gap in the argument. It is because these films targeted at younger audiences are believed to be more profitable that film producers make them. If this weren’t true, theater managers wouldn’t want these types of films and producers wouldn’t make them.

This is too strong. The argument just needs a reason why films that appeal to younger audiences are more profitable than films that appeal to older audiences - it doesn’t need to say films targeted at an older audience are never profitable.
