Attendance for the period is projected to total about 543 million, the lowest tally since the summer of 1997, when 540 million people turned up.Hollywood has now experienced four consecutive summers of eroding attendance, a cause for alarm for both studios and the publicly traded theater chains.
One or two soft years can be dismissed as an aberration; four signal real trouble.
AMERICA'S LOVE AFFAIR WITH MOTION PICTURES STARTED WITH THE NICKELODEON.
IT SURVIVED WW1 AND MOVIES AND TALKIES AND TECHNICOLOR AND CINEMASCOPE AND TV. AND VCR'S.
BUT IT DID NOT SURVIVE DVD'S AND DOWNLOADING - AND THE FOCUS ON IDIOTIC 3D SPECTACULARS AND A STEADY DIET OF ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA.
AND BECAUSE OF THIS - AND THE FACT THAT HOLLYWOOD HAS GIVEN UP ON DRAMAS AND COMEDIES WITH GOOD SCRIPTS AND GOOD ACTING FOR ADULTS - I AM GLAD THE AMERICAN AUDIENCE IS GIVING UP ON HOLLYWOOD.
Hollywood's anti-American propaganda is an audience turn-off.

I agree with Punditarian and you on this.
ReplyDeleteAnd, our opinions are born out in fact, because family movies continue to be the biggest grossers
