    personally I don’t hink there was ever any recovery after the 07-08 collapse

    Folks can’t afford to go to the movies.

    YES! Just really glad to see someone say these things. They’re my first thought whenever i see anything articles about the “economy” or why movies (that they spend 2x to 3x more money making) aren’t making enough money.

        That’s more to do with ticket prices than ticket sales, IMO. Number of tickets may be up, but not as a function of population increase and globalization
