We know what you’re thinking. How could that happen?
Independence Day came out in 1996!
Thanks to inflation and the absurd cost of a 3-D movie ticket, box office revenues rose above $10 billion for the only the second time, but only 1.35 billion tickets were sold.
That’s the lowest amount of tickets sold since 1.33 were sold in 1996.
Attendance dropped 5.4% last year compared with 2009 and the largest drop since attendance fell 8.1% in 2005.
Maybe digital media is taking over and people aren’t going to see as many movies or maybe it’s that gosh darn economy keeping us at home.
Or maybe Hollywood is making really bad movies.
We’ll go with a combination of all three of those reasons for a dismal box-office year.
What do U think the reasons are for box-office audiences disappearing?
