Reply #100: I have to agree

I used to work for a major film company. A couple of statistics have haunted me since then.

The mean average for the number of movies an American sees in a theater is zero. In other words the majority of Americans NEVER go to the theater. The overall average is around 2 movies a year. And the core audience is people 14 to 24 years old who see, on average, 6 movies per year.

11 bad weeks would seem to be high gasoline prices sucking up discretionary income. Also video games continue to take a bigger slice of the male half of the 14 to 24 year-old pie.
