The audience demographic was 64 percent male and 57 percent people 25 years or older.
The film's production cost $30 million and this was entirely funded by
Xenophobia, Private Military Contractors, slum housing and forced evictions thereof are all represented as the film explores and condemns the conditions which give rise to them in it's imaginary setting. It uses this setting to great effect in alluding to past problems. As a perfect example the film is set in South Africa (a country which suffered apartheid and the segregation of black people into ghettos, such as District 6) and it concerns the apartheid and segregation of aliens into ghettos, such as District 9.
The film is a Science-Fiction film but it does not conform completely to this by being set very near in the future (2010), and it's on Earth as opposed to another planet/in space. One could easily liken it to 2008's film Cloverfield. Apart from that it does have other things which define the sci-fi genre: aliens and advanced alien technology.
