It's a hollywood factoid that teenagers spend the most disposable income when it comes to entertainment.
This is the reason why you see fewer rated R movies now. The first AvP movie was PG-13... after 4 aliens movies and 2 predator movies all rated R.
I believe Die Hard 4 is another example of a series going soft to squeeze out more money from teens who might be too young to go to an R-rated picture.
So that's why.

Ten- to thirteen-year-olds like stupid shit? Stop the fucking presses!
I'm old enough to remember New Kids on the Block. Hell, my fellow early-thirtysomethings went nuts over their recent revival tour! Childhood is a powerful memory, and every single one of us has our moments from our own tween-age years. I don't begrudge kids their taste (or lack of it)---it took me until I was almost thirty to start appreciating classical music.
