Blaming a hurricane for crappy box office receipts. I’ve seen it all now. LOL. They were crappy a long time before anyone knew about “Harvey”.

Wondering how long before some jackass comes on this thread and says, “I don’t see anything from Hollyweird”.

Seafoam Blue.

Buy a quart of it and put some on a wall.

Watch it dry.

More entertaining than recent movies.

If the studios are in such bad shape that a few theaters in southern Texas and Louisiana are the make-or-break element of their profit, then the story is bigger than those few theaters. There are 48 other states that aren’t experiencing a hurricane right now, and most of them are more urbanized than the relatively-sparse Texas coast i.e. with more movie-goers. Not to mention north Texas which isn’t feeling any of the storm. Dallas today is mid-70s and showery (no wind), which is perfect movie weather. No one heads to Padre Island to watch movies indoors.

It's Trump-made Global Warming that's causing it.

Terminator 2 3D also bombed as predicted! You here that, The Arnold Fans? Schwarzenegger and Cameron need to learn to shut their yaps about Trump and women.

Perhaps if Hollywood still had some movies with excellent scripts that didn’t tell us how to lead our lives people would actually go see them.

Domestic ticket sales are down by 70 million admissions so far from 2016 to 2017. Would be interested to know what percentage of that is due to people boycotting, or if it’s mostly crappy movies, or people preferring to watch films at home.

Part of every movie ticket is a donation to the Democrat Party...

Really? One weekend storm in one small corner of a huge nation is listed as a partial cause of a massive business shortfall?

“Moviegoing Slows to a Standstill Amid Historic August Slump”

HollyWierd can dry up and blow away, AFAIAC!

The USA will be a better place to live without you Hollywierdos!

The wife wanted all 4 of us to go see a movie at the theater recently. I said hellno. Not funding leftist freaks who hate our President. Glad I could pitch in on the slump.

There’s too much CO2 in the air to go to the movies.

One of my favorite things is to go to the movies. Actors politics ruined that. Have only gone once this year.

Is there even much of a Hollywood anymore? It seems more and more movies and television shows are filmed in Canada as liberal hypocrites seek the monetary advantages of tax credits and lower production costs.

The simple fact is that most of the high profile movies are simply CRAP! The high tech, fake fight, comic book hero movies and sequels are simply too loud, too preposterous and too stupid to spend any money and time seeing. Add the excellent original programming available on pay services like Amazon and Netflix and it is not hard to see why Hollywood is suffering.

That doesn't even take into account the fact that idiot producers, directors and pretty boy actors won't STFU about their illogical Leftist politics.

“Hurricane Harvey has prompted theater closures.”

Yes, that is the main reason why I have avoided going to the movies this weekend and for the past several years. Last movie I saw in a theater? Bolt (2008). Darn hurricanes.
