These stats are a bit misleading. Overall sales are up, but only because of a historic year for superhero movies this year. Black Panther, Infinity War and The Incredibles each grossed over $600 million domestic. It's not exactly healthy for filmmaking when all other movies are down.

Original movies are performing at a historically low rate. The only movies based on an original screenplay to make the top 20 so far are A Quiet Place and The Meg. Everything else is sequel, franchise movie, or based on a best selling book.

Superhero Movies YTD: 2018: 2,670.7 2017: 1,537.9

Non Superhero Movies YTD: 2018: 6,648.8 2017: 6,921.6

I had no idea that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization rated movies.

What an alliance!

Perhaps its just the strong economy and people with more disposable income to waste in the theaters.
