40 years huh? Isn’t that about the time that the last original thought was made into a movie? Also, every movie wasn’t a skin flick back then. Also, they didn’t have preschoolers cursing like career Navy men. I didn’t notice a whole bunch of creepy homosexuals starring as leading men (at least the ones that were, ahem Rock Hudson, hid it well).

If they sold 10 tickets they'd beat 1943. In the 60s my mother would give me 50 cents to go to the Saturday afternoon move. That half dollar got me in, a box of popcorn and a coke.
Now it's $15-20 a piece with snuck in snacks and water and unless it's an Eastwood movie it usually sucks. All fluff and cussing, no real acting anymore.

Capitalism/woke economics at work.No, it's because all the theaters were forcibly shut down.

MAYBE they need to start making movies about:
Homosexuals struggling to be accepted
The evils of Fracking and Man-made Climate Change
Interracial Marriages and acceptance
The Evils of Conservatism
Christian activism as hatred
GO FOR IT Hollywood! It is the only way back.

Unfortunately the lefties have plenty of money they can hold out for a very long time, then continue their anti-male, anti-straight, anti-America, and anti-God films in a year or so.

excellent? I get my royalty checks anyway. However, big studios DEPEND heavily on box office revenues and streaming services.

Define box-office.
Most major movie and music production companies own stakes in online streaming services.
They are still taking in money. Movie theater or desktop, it makes no difference to them. With music they realized that they can even bump the numbers and have “platinum” albums with ZERO sold product.
To: montag813
Their streaming revenue is good, but their churn rate is not.

Presently, domestic revenue for 2020 stands at around $2.2 billion, according to Comscore. [...]
Foreign ticket sales are hovering around $9 billion, thanks to a full-blown recovery in Asian markets including China, Japan and South Korea. Last year, global ticket sales hit a record $42.5 billion; this time around, it will be down at least 70 percent.
This is likely to further shift movie-making to cater to non-US audiences.
