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.
Crappy movies.
The problem for cinema is that streaming television coupled with affordable, excellent quality, enormous home theaters has raised the bar so high of what people expect for visual entertainment.
We're experiencing a renaissance in television right now. In terms of production quality, it is the best it has ever been. Movies can't compete. More people will be talking at the water coolers on Monday about Game of Thrones than anything playing at the multiplex this year.
I don’t watch superhero movies and that seems to be all they put out anymore.
