I don't think you can really compare modern movies to old ones via tickets sold. Up until the late 70s you pretty much weren't going to have a chance to see a movie once it was out of theaters unless you were lucky enough for it to come onto TV. Even then it took until the mid 80s for VHS prices to drop, the explosion in the amount of video rental stores, and the rise of cable networks that needed programing for it to be easy to see a film after it's theatrical run.
shite, it wasn't that long ago that it still took at least a year or more to get a movie on VHS or DVD after it's initial release. These days movies tend to be out for purchase 6 months or less after the film is done in theaters.
