Movie Ticket Sales Hit A 22-Year Low in 2017 (msn.com)
An anonymous reader quotes the Los Angeles Times:
Hollywood is celebrating the end of 2017 with astronomical sales from "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," which is on track to soon exceed $1 billion in global ticket sales and eventually become the biggest movie of the year. But that won't be enough to write a happy storyline for the industry. Although movie ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada are expected to dip just below last year's record of $11.38 billion, the number of tickets sold is projected to drop 4% to 1.26 billion -- the lowest level since 1995, according to preliminary estimates from studio executives.
The falloff in ticket sales can mostly be explained by a handful of movies that flopped, especially during the dreary summer season that posted the worst results in more than two decades. Even such massive hits as "Wonder Woman," "Thor: Ragnarok" and "It" couldn't make up for a lackluster summer lineup populated by rickety franchises ("Alien: Covenant") and poorly reviewed retreads ("The Mummy"). However, the long-term decline in attendance reflects systemic challenges facing the industry. Audiences are spending less time going to the movies and are consuming more entertainment on small screens and through streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon that are spending billions on original video content. At the same time, while higher ticket prices have helped to offset attendance declines, they have made consumers pickier about what movies they're willing to go see. And those increasingly discerning consumers turn to social media and Rotten Tomatoes to decide what's worth their time and money.

I can't understand why superhero movies are so popular? Who, over 12 years old, is going to see them? They come out with a new one every 3 months and they all look identical to me. They also make a ton of money, so they will continue make them. I only see art films myself.
Theaters, Studios and Distributors need to look at how movies are priced and sold vs their competition. Netflix, Amazon, etc. are using a subscription model to generate the revenue they need to produce and provide content. MoviePass is trying to do the same but is being resists by theaters despite getting paid the same. As consumers get more accepting of the subscription model paying to go to the movies may become even less a choice. Of course, Netflix's cost structure is much different than theaters who have high fixed costs in running a B&M operation. In addition, the profit model for studios runs counter to a subscription model, since studios use blockbusters to cover all of their costs. If a subscription model eliminates large blockbuster gates they could very well lose that revenue if a significant percentage of their viewer base has a subscription, which means the revenue is fixed and spread over several movies so there is no marginal revenue from blockbusters.

Hate going to the theater and having to listen to people talking, crunching on popcorn or rustling candy packages, their cell phone screen light in the dark... And this occurs only in all the best situations.
I've got a 42" TV and it's not even that big by American standards. I've got video games that border on photo realistic (uncanny valley not withstanding). I've got Netflix, YouTube and a video camera built into my $200 cell phone if I want to make my own movies. I don't need them anymore.

Almost record dollar amounts with almost record low sales. Hmmm... Anybody in Hollywood ever take Econ 101? When prices are high, sales are low. Go ask all the sports stadiums have their sales are going.
Like how Netflix is bring out niche shows that'll never be made by traditional media companies who needs to water down things to appeal to the messes. If it takes a few million dollars every year by Netflix to keep just 1% of their subscribers happy, it's worth it for them. They have 110 million subscribers and gross 11 million from 1% of their customers. While the networks or even the movie studios can't afford to do that because everything has to be a hit with limited primetime hours to maximize ratings and theater owners unwilling to screen movies that won fill the sits.
Why would I spend twenty dollars to sit next to an asshole teenager who is texting the whole time. Or some jackass who brought a three year old to an r rated film. After watching twenty minutes of commercials and spoiler trailers, having my ears blasted out... And while being able to hear the movie playing next door even in quiet moments of my movie. Because louder is better? Why? I can't move seats to get away from jerks because seats are assigned now. I have to kick people out of my seat quite often because people sit in my assigned seat. The quality of food and drink continually declines, the kitchens are often filthy messes, theatres do not even provide unsweetened tea anymore, the workers seem suicidally depressed, and the remaining customers often seem like self entitled rich jackasses who are not there to see a film, but to be waited on and catered to. Why would I want to go anymore? My best experiences were in the second run theatre tbh. Don't know what had happened but it's.profoundly unpleasant nowdays to go to films.
So I, as a consumer, go to see movies to be entertained. However it seems Hollywood is hell bent on shoving its leftist political agenda down my throat for every movie I see. They take a movie I've already seen, remake it with a bad coat of paint and then can't understand why most people are "meh" on it.
Really, Hollywood -- stop with your shit. I have known some brilliant black scientists, but c'mon Hollyweed -- maybe every white person doesn't have to be evil and saved by a black scientist. Also I don't care about the evil government coverup that is uncovered by a strong female reporting. I just don't give a shit about that stuff. It doesn't affect my daily life in any way. And stop just swapping out young actors for old ones. When I see a movie I care about the story; not the people portraying it. Hollywood seems to assume people see a movie because of the actor. Maybe some do, but bzzt! Celebrities don't have much value without good writing behind them (hint, hint).
Maybe I should start a campaign to really piss off all the Hollywood types -- MMGA (Make Movies Great Again!) Yup, a take off of a great slogan that must drive them mad. LOL.
Once you could get porn over the Internet, no one went to those movies any more. As streaming movies becomes more capable, you are slowly going to kill the theater experience. Who needs to go to a theater to see a massive wide screen, when you already have one at home?
I know, it's piracy right ? Not the fact that nowadays they make a long-play film out of a "story" that wouldn't even be considered as a side-plot for a Star Trek episode a few decade ago. Where actors are cast based on looks only, talent is irrelevant. When movie studios are basically banks, going for proven ROI's only, taking zero risk, killing and burying all remaining talent. Where now almost everything is a reboot or spinoff of a brand name made a few decades ago and marketed and hyped to death. Adding ZERO value, often simply demeaning to the original. And even when they try real hard, everything is pushed and shoved and even in their best efforts the end result simply lacks finesse. Where the whole SciFi genre is now reduced to Xmen bullshit and yet even more action packed garbage with simply no plot, no insights, nothing, just terrible cgi action scenes, and cheesy dialog. Where everything is tailored to one age category and the common denominator where all of the audience is considered to be brain dead morons and potheads.
Hollywood doesn't make movies for the United States. They're targeting Asian audiences and competing with Bollywood, where it is pretty typical to see serial-style films with the same characters and plot lines over and over. Not to say that doesn't happen in the US and western film (Bond, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc), but it is on a whole new level.
The difference is that the US produces spectacles using a lot of technology. Bollywood produces spectacles using a lot of people.

P.S.=> I'm 53 yrs. of age & these films appeal to me MOSTLY on those grounds - seeing what I read as a boy (what really BOOSTED my reading too (StarTrek TOS actually taught me to speak English as I am a "gen 1 U.S. Citizen" & my family spoke polish @ home until I was 10) & interest in sciences/computing too) redone as modern film (the finest art form in some ways, reading beats it in others in that YOU are the 'director' painting the film in YOUR mind minus the director's view adding a diff. patinae (sp?) instead)... apk
The problem is the theaters, not the movies. Theaters are an awful way to experience a movie. There are:
Stinks
Excess Noise
Uncomfortable seats
Garbage
Gum
Spit food
Obnoxious people
Strangers
No pause button
No skip button for previews we don't want
No rewind button for things we want to see or hear again
Inconvenient locked in times of day
Have to travel to the theater
High prices for theater
High prices for snacks and not allowed to bring our own better ones
For the cost of one theater ticket I can buy several movies that our entire family can enjoy and even watch again later if we want.
Theaters are a very poor solution.
I recently wen to a chain cinema instead of the independent one near my house. We were treated like cattle, given assigned seats (!?), and had to endure advertisements on the screen before the movie. I don't mind a printed add in a slideshow of movie trivia to show your stub for a free dessert at a nearby restaurant or something like that. These were like TV commercials with sound so loud you could not talk to your friends that lasted a minute or more with no redeeming content between them. Even if the movie had been really good the entire experience would be tainted.
With Netflix, Hulu, Amazon streaming, etc. you can wait and watch it at home cheaper. The reason to go to the movies is the experience. Improve the experience and people will come. Treat people like cattle and they will stay away. Our local cinema has a bar attached, real butter on the popcorn, and only shows previews before the movie. They actively try to create a community by showing classics at midnight on weekends, hosting movie trivia contests, and showing locally produced movies including a Q&A with the makers. They participate in film festivals. It isn't that hard.
By number of tickets sold, it's terrible, yet by revenue it's nearly a record. This means the per seat price to go to a movie is astronomical, which feeds into their problems.
Taking the family out to a movie is one of the most expensive outings to do nowadays. Years ago, over the summer you might go every two weeks over the summer. Now that's not affordable even if you want to do it.
Yes this is also alongside people having gigantic TVs and fantastic sound along with really good furniture that's frequently better than the theater's. So while before you paid to see things on the 'big screen', now you can get that at home. Now you have to want the experience of the theater, the audience, and/or be so impatient to see things when only in theaters.
XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve the problem, use more.
If a movie has to sell in a Communist nation, make a separate movie that is within Communist party rules.
Dont try and edit a movie for global release in free nations into something that can be sold in a Communist nation.
Make two different movies for very different markets. Something the Communist government will accept.
Something that will sell to the rest of the world who is not under Communist censorship.
Edits and adding plots to please Communist governments is not going to please other audiences used to freedom of speech.
Dont let great scripts and good casting get changed by the political demands of todays activist staff.
Let the movie, setting and plot guide the cast and story not the radical changes demanded by todays activist politics.
Find out what most American audiences want to pay to enjoy. If its faith, freedom, fun and Americana, try selling that to the USA and the world.
Freedom, a good plot, a cast that fits the roles might just sell more than today's limited political newspeak.
If an author and book have a set look and feel that sold well why mess up making a profit with radical and experimental casting changes and new roles?
Dont let activist actors demand changes to plots that sell or are selling.
Need new roles for actors who make constant political demands? Create and find new amazing scripts. See how well their ideas for political art sells.
Audiences might embrace their new creative art rather than a sloppy, lazy political retrofitting of past classics?
If an actor wants a role let them write a script, get funding and risk their own project for a role they feel will sell.
Dont change a quality project for their political demands.
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
These days Hollywood is churning out quantity over quality. I've found Netflix originals to be so much better than what the big movie studios are producing.
Maybe the list can shed some light onto the problem. So we have:
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales ...
Thor: Ragnarok
Beauty and the Beast
Justice League
Logan
Wonder Woman
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Spider-Man: Homecoming
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
The Fate of the Furious
Dunkirk
Kong: Skull Island
Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Transformers: The Last Knight
Power Rangers
And so on. Can you spot a theme here? Sequels, Prequels, new installations of a series, reboots... and to the cherry on top of the shitcake is that the movie about King Arthur is the one with the most original, non-derivative script.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
... are the endless DC/Marvel comic book films, and bad sequels. Was there really a need for so many Vin Diesel street racing movies? Oh, and the needless reboots of previously successful films---many of which were also superhero comic book films (or TV series). All of these are crowding out other movies that people might like to see but can't because, of the 20 screens at the cineplex, at least half of them seem to be showing a sequel or reboot. Holding up each moviegoer who's already dropped $10 for a ticket for another $10 or so for a bag of popcorn and a soda doesn't help either. Waiting a few weeks and renting the DVD--or watching it online--with cheaper snacks and drinks makes a whole lot more sense nowadays. Plus... you get to see those movies that couldn't even get on a screen at the cineplex.
CUR ALLOC 20195.....5804M
One of many irritating aspects of going to a movie theater is the deafening sound volume. A fake way to simulate excitement.
We recently attended opening weekend for Last Jedi at a standard no-reservation theater. To get a decent seat, we needed to get to the movie about an hour early. We would then have to sit through the commercial reels playing on a loop so that we get each commercial 3 times. As I looked around everyone had their smartphone out playing casual games or distracting themselves in some way taking attention away from the commercial torture. I let my kids use my phone to play games. At the "show time", that's when the standard 20 minutes of trailers start. Some of them are interesting and mildly entertaining, while a few were inappropriate for my tweens. We enjoyed the movie, but we really paid for it in time and attention and money.
As we morph into a society of smartphone symbiotes, the shared experience isn't as meaningful anymore. The main reason we went was to negate the spoiling effect next week from everyone talking about the movie. We can otherwise wait for Redbox or Netflix or a less-crowded luxury theater experience.
No, it's the one with Steve Lawrence. He got desperate for roles in the last few years.
With the overpriced bullshit and the infuriating ads no wonder.
If it was pleasant to go to the movies I'd do it all the time. It's not.
Politically charged = decline in sales/ratings/etc.
It doesn't matter which side you're on, people generally want to watch sports or movies to escape the hellhole known as reality, and constantly reminding people of reality, along with preaching certain beliefs, will generally piss the consumer off and drive them to something else that helps escape reality.
Ticket sales are down 4%, but video streaming is up 60%. Does that mean it's a bad year for the "movie industry", or is it a bad year for the movie theater industry?
I don't think we need to have any bake sales for Hollywood. And until they start taking away people's phones at the door, I'll continue to go to movie theaters less.
You are welcome on my lawn.
I use Netflix, sure.
But, the reason why I don't go to the theaters is usually because:
- oh it's a remake; don't care for these
- oh it's a comic book movie; don't care for these
These are problems with the industry, nothing to do with Netflix. I've never once said "I'm going to stay home and stream Netflix instead of watching this movie I want to see"
Oh wait, does the industry think I'm some mindless consumer who only uses Netflix because I'm lazy? Nah it's because of that original non shit content. Well mostly non shit.
How about a Disney superhero film that checks off each of your points labeled 1-4? Doesn't The Last Jedi satisfy each and every one of these requirements?
The movie theater business is facing a problem similar to that of the NFL: It's getting much harder to compete with the in-home experience. The NFL is having attendance problems in some cities, and it's not surprising. That monetary cost of attending a game is high, especially when you include the absurdly high cost of parking and food, and the non-monetary costs, such as the time needed to attend a game, exposing yourself and your friends/family to drunks in the stands, etc. don't make the in-person experience any more attractive.
I can sit on my couch and watch an incredible array of movies, documentaries, and, yes, even a sitcom or two, are very low marginal cost. Why endure the expenses of going to a theater when roughly half the time I won't like the movie?
Studios can make better films, and theater chains can tweak their business model, but the bottom line is that it's damn tough to compete with a 65" 4K TV.
The studios set the ticket prices, and they are way too high. That keeps people out of the theaters.
Fix that, and watch attendance soar.
It really is that simple, in this case.
Apparently. I lost count of how many articles have been posted about the same thing. It's not even news for nerds. We've already enumerate through the various reasons that movie ticket sales are down. Can't you post something new instead of some version of the same thing over and over again? WTH
We'll make great pets
I don't go to movies for two reasons. One is their too expensive and I feel ripped off if the over hyped movie is a dud. When the trailer is the only good part of the movie. Second, I can typically wait a couple months to rent it at a quarter of the price and feel less ripped off if it sucks.
I didn't check rotten tomatoes before I went. Waste of time and money. I feel sorry for Matt D. It looks like he really tried but nothing could save this flick. It didn't have an ending. Or a point...
Well they almost have record ticket sales in $ but number of tickets sold is where they were 22 years ago..
Quite frankly, I hate going to movies anymore. I will just wait 3 months and buy the damn thing. Cheaper than a ticket+popcorn+drink.
At the same time movie attendance has been falling, the number of movie sequels has been climbing, hitting an all-time high of 40 in 2017. Not saying the relationship is causal (correlation and all that), but Hollywood might want to consider that possibility before it blames it all on piracy or home streaming or some other thing that's not their own fault.
at least at the theaters in my neck of the woods. The seats are much more comfortable and you've got enough leg room to put your feet up. I suppose if you've got $1000+ recliners though you still might have an edge. Your other complaints are spot in, but there's something to be said about a night out.

The problem is these idiotic comic book hero movies.
Their fans have less money, no taste, no interest in new stories, and stunted intelligence.
No wonder targeting them hasnt worked.
Wait, needs some changes and anyone who disagrees is a bigot and will be quickly fired. Mom should be caregiver and should have transitioned. The plot you suggest doesnâ(TM)t work so how about the caregiver attends a rally and is brutally abused by police, but the police work for a corporation... they then work with a helpful government regulatory agency that takes down the corporation which was actually a religious group run by a neo-nazi. Perfect, fixed it!
In 1930 there were 4 billion movie tickets sold in the U.S., with a population of 123 million, or about 32 tickets per person. In 2017 only 1.26 billion tickets were sold, or about 4 tickets per person.
Wow! The movie industry is in dire straits, 87 years of steep decline!
This is ridiculous of course. The movie-related entertainment industry is radically different from 1930, with different pricing models for tickets, many revenue streams from each property (overseas revenue often topic domestic, DVD/Blu-Ray sales, merchandising, cable, streaming, etc). Today a movie may get "green lighted" without any expectation that it will make its costs in domestic theater runs, based on the other sources of revenue that will be generated.
More than a decade ago studios stopped regarding DVDs as the enemy of theater revenue and began treating the theater release as a promo for DVD sales. Instead of leaving a long gap between theater run and the DVD release they brought them close together.
Notice that despite this drop in ticket sales, revenues are up due to higher prices. They aren't just jacking up prices - there is a (continuing) transformation of the movie-going experience.
I live in the Los Angeles area, so I am likely seeing the leading edge of this transformation -- but the major cinemaplexes here are providing much cushier and roomy seating with recliners and swinging tables, and assigned seating which you can buy on-line. You don't have to get to the theater early to get a good seat, or seats together, you have those seats guaranteed any time you show up. Theaters have also upgraded their food, offering a bar and a menu you can order from, having the food brought straight to your seat. More expensive, but a much nicer experience.
With everyone having a large 2K or 4K TV, and fancy audio if they want, and upsampling DVD players and Bluray, and now streaming options, unless a movie is some sort of "must see" cultural event, there is little motivation to spend extra bucks to go to the theater -- unless you want that luxurious premium entertainment experience.

I could just about stomach spending 5 quid on a cinema ticket.
But today it's so expensive. I'd rather buy wait and buy the 3D bluray and have the option to watch in 2D or 3D and be able to pause FF Rewind at my pleasure.
I guess cinema is ok if you go with some mates, but its a night mare going as a family.
That said we have an excellent local cinema run by enthusiasts that is very reasonable price wise.
I was not expecting anything remotely close in quality to "Alien" or "Aliens", but I was also not expecting such a ridiculously pathetic movie. What a turd it is.

Superhero franchises might be nice for shareholders, but I don't care. I liked Star Wars when I was a kid, but the franchise finished with a nice bow wrapped many years ago. All since is derivative. Its like what Peter Jackson did with The Hobbit. I can see him not wanting to make one film from three Lord Of The Rings books, but what possessed him to make one Hobbit book into three Hobbit Movies??? Its all so very watered down. Its like it used to be a tasty drink, but now you have to gulp and gulp and hardly get any taste. 20 years ago, it was widely known that any movie with a number following it was a watered down version of something. Shareholders wanting to cash in on something for nothing. And now we have "Superhero Franchise" movies. And people have seen all the tricks before. And the plot is paper thin and watered down. And I don't want to spend money on paper thin watered down. And the film industry is worried because people aren't going? Maybe make something worthwhile, new, entertaining and original, for the first time in 5-10 years. Call me after you do (not before).
The main reason we don't go to theatres much anymore is that we've created a a better experience at home. Eight-foot wide screen, four recliners, a completely darkened room with no windows, and the ability to control the entire presentation on our schedule. We simply wait until they come out on Blu-Ray. The few occasions where we go to the theatre are either because (a) we got free or discounted tickets, or (b) the desire to see it sooner. For example we saw "The Man Who Invented Christmas" (to see it during the holiday season) and "The Last Jedi" (to avoid having the surprises spoiled). In both situations, we had to put up with people texting throughout the movies. Fuck people, PUT YOUR DAMN PHONES AWAY!
Art films are making a ton of money ? I seriously doubt it ahah
Right. The number of tickets sold is a bit lower. But the revenue is almost at another record level.
So...people are in total spending about as much as before.
I guess the movie industry will not be happy until we all spend 100% of our disposable income, assuming we have any in the first place.

Years ago I was the world's biggest fan of movies. I was an early adopter of the VCR to record movies, then I was an early adopter of the DVR to record movies. I subscribed to all the premium movie channels. Then everyone between hollyweird (the creator) and me (the consumer) began to get greedy. The ability of movies to entertain me and to make me suspend disbelief went from pretty good to pretty crappy. Greed caused the implementation of the do-not-copy flag on movies over cable and lobbyists paid off congress so that newer DVRs would obey the do-not-copy flag.
These days movies are remakes, comics, brutally violent, stupid, insipid, or all of the above. Adios, movies, and good riddance.
Circle the wagons and fire inward. Entropy increases without bounds.
