I’ll tell you why movie revenue is dropping…
”[..] theaters are losing their charm”
From Roger Ebert’s usually excellent1 column. Anecdotally, this is spot-on. My mother, whose usual modus operandi is to see at least a movie every month, whether or not my father wants to, no matter what is actually playing, has been opining more of late about how much she doesn’t like going out to the theater anymore. When you’ve lost that kind of regular attendee, you’re in trouble.
1Ebert is usually spot-on, or at least makes a very cogent point or two, but I still have a bitter taste left from his dismissal of video games as art. Man just needs to play himself some Skyrim.
