The audiance will depend on what kind of thriller film. Like all genres, there are sub-genres and to give an accurate answer you would have to specify what kind of thriller film.
There are those thrillers that are borderline horror films, such as The Sixth Sense, Signs, The Village. Since they're close to horror (and horror films target teenage males), the demographic would be slightly different, probably younger and more male based demographic.
And then there are legal thrillers (Fracture, Runaway Jury) and crime thrillers (Memento, Se7en) that target a more mature audience. Legal thrillers are usually aimed more at a female audiance, and crime thrillers aimed at a male audiance.
Based on the evidence given by the films "Corolanus" and "Man on a Ledge", most likely young adult, male demographic from 18-25. Most likely C1 in terms of social class.
Using this information to work out the type of audiance a crime thriller attracts, i can start to think about what is aesthetically pleasing to that audiance. from my research, it is evident that 21-30 year old males will most likely be my greatest audiance. Generally Crime thrillers contain winding plots, shocking openings and lots of violence or gore.
