Quote: thedoctor said: Movie attendance has been slipping the past several years. The box office is drawing in less and less money overall. Though BB is the #1 movie right now, it's not raking in as much money as the #1 movie this time last year. I think that instead of examining the disinterest in movie goers to pay the high ticket prices, unruley crowds, astounding concession prices, and the freedom that DVD's give audiences, the industry and industry reporters are trying to unearth some missing element of the blockbuster formula in films like BB. The market is drastically changing with current technology and accessibility, and I don't think that Hollywood fully understands it.
Not to mention the previews.
Twenty minutes of previews were shown before Batman Begins both times I saw it.
