Movies Make More Money, Or Do They?
This is really kinda dumb to me.
Tickets to a movie are roughly $10-12 bucks.
Matinees are about $6.
Movies cost a lot more to make now.
I just don’t think this is very valid, alas, I’m not an economist.
I can’t help but wonder what other economic ratios are about this.
Just saying.
For the first time in my life I’m having trouble remember the last movie I actually went to a theater to see. It’s been so long. I think it was “Fahrenheit 911″.
It’s not because I don’t like going to the theater. There are still plenty of nearby houses that have cheap-o matinees ($2) but it’s really because I just don’t like most movies that come out these days and I got out of the habit of going. I watch fewer movies and, as a result, I probably spend more time online for entertainment.
I did watch “The Poseidon Adventure” yesterday. One of my all-time favorites. I’m relating the world-turned-upside-down theme these days.
well, movies cost more, but there are more and more markets internationally in which American movies are shown. Plus DVDs, home video exclusivity, broadcast rights, network TV rights, teeshirts, toys, etc. They didn’t make Scarlet O’Hara dolls back in the day.
Good point.
