Movie theaters had a seriously good year this year when a lot of other industries are in the crapper.

Not really. Ticket sales were down again. Revenues were up due to 3-D sales and increased ticket prices.

Yeah but you are an old fogey that likes old movies.




It's true if you're into older movies you pretty much have to have the DVD plan.

My business is owned by a company that owns movie theatres worldwide. They have been pretty excited about this year.

Thank you. Drudgereport had an article explaining this.......revenues were up but ticket numbers were still way down. Prices went up.

My point was the way the movie industry plans to get pirating under control again is through streaming. They'll once again be able to control the availability of their product once portable media is gone. It'll take a while, bandwidth and other considerations, but they'll then once more have the consumer bent over.

The same is going to happen with music....cloud content.
