There are a lot more people who watch movies (whatever the genre) than there are people who read novels. I guess things might be somewhat different in the US, but in my country the adults who read SF are pretty rare. Fantasy and SF are not considered "the adult thing". Even though there are many SF and fantasy books translated into our local language and that trend seems not to be diminishing.
