2008 Box Office Passes Last Year’s Stats

• Year-to-date attendance vs. the equivalent point in 2007 or 2008 YTD attendance vs. total 2007 attendance?

  If the former, that’s obviously bad, but if the latter, attendance this year would still likely be up vs. last year.

  I would not be surprised to see more and more people opt not to watch the movies in the cinemas and wait for them on video, DVD or even on HBO.

  Unlike say 10 years ago, the alternatives was very limited and the technology was not as advanced as today (HDTV, Blueray, etc..)

  So 3.56% decreased should be a relief for it could have been worst.

  That’s my 2-cents comment on it

• Aside from the two or three summer blockbusters that drive the box office, what else is there to see (commercial movie-wise)?

  I’m surprised attendance isn’t down more than that.

• Prices up. Attendance down.
  Economy in the dumpster.
  Who woulda thought?
