A powerful Hollywood lobbyist group is reporting that the box office was down 7.9% in 2005. Blaming competing interests for consumers time (television, video games, cell phones, etc.), the group still credits high marks to Hollywood for customer satisfaction. Personally, I think we all know why the box office was down last year. Except for a very few movies (Star Wars, Chronicles of Narnia) there was not much to draw the casual theater-goer into a cineplex. Next year should be better with the Spider-Man and Superman movies due out, but the lack of a few major summer movies really hit the bottom line.
I am glad there is no mention of piracy here. The few people I know who have downloaded movies from the Net did so AFTER the film had left the theater, and because despite all efforts they could not reach the theater at all.
