| The People Fight Back - Theater Attendance At 24 Year Low |
| 2018-01-18 |
| Damn, I love this shit! This is the price Hollywood (and the NFL) will pay for shitting on and insulting at least half the country for the past two or three decades. [TheWrap] The National Alliance of Theater Owners (NATO) announced Wednesday that the national ticket average for 2017 rose 3.7 percent year-over-year to $8.93, up from $8.65 last year. At that average, the estimated number of movie tickets sold last year is 1.23 billion. While that is only a rough estimate that does not account for the higher ticket prices for premium formats and theaters in more expensive cities like New York and Los Angeles, NATO’s estimate is the lowest since 1993, when "Jurassic Park" was the top grossing film of the year and an estimated 1.24 billion tickets were sold. Oh - and you might want to stop making shit movies. That would help as well. Baby steps, people! |

| #3 Some years back I read about the cultural differences in story and movie choices of the Chinese. In a Chinese story the hero usually dies at the end, their feeling was that anybody can be brave if they feel they have even a small chance to survive, if the hero knows that he is absolutely going to die if he continues what he feels is a right path, then he is a real hero. Holly Wooden heros will seldom take on a role like that. |

| #2 Hollywood has decided they don't need us deplorable anymore now that they have the Chinese market. Unfortunately, the Chinese don't like crap movies either. |
