Ticket prices have risen by 50% since 2003 and yet box office revenue has only risen by 30%. Those two facts coupled with the 8-10% increase in the US population over the same period only further weakens your half assed argument.
Just to further shite on you, there were 506 movies released into theaters in 2003. In 2018, that number rose to 872. Not only that but hundreds of new movie theaters have been built in that time too.
And yet, the film industry is still seeing its profit margins erode. But yeah you keep knighting for SJWs mouthing off. I’m done with your ignorance. You keep trying to drag everyone down to your level of stupidity so you can beat us with clearly high level of experience, but I for one no longer have the time for your bullshittery.

Less people go to the movies now than in decades, and go less frequently. "Big" box office #'s are largely due to inflation and increased ticket prices.
In the 80s a typical big budget movie might cost 5-25 million to make and topping 100 million at the box office was usually considered a smash hit.
Now your big budget movies cost 50-150+ million and those type of movies need like 500+ million to be considered successful. For movies with outrageous marketing budgets even that isn't even enough. Batman v Superman made close to 1 billion and was considered a mild financial disappoint. Solo made 400 million and was a major financial failure.
Not taking inflation into account when comparing historical box office performance is either dishonest or just ignorant.
Movies are still obviously a very profitable endeavor, but legitimate box office numbers have been getting consistently worse for almost 20 years.

I think steaming is hurting them. A movie has to be worth the price. With so many movies I only go to theaters for action flicks or things I really want to see.
