Every year they bitch about drop in ticket sales.

I think the journalists are stuck in the 1980's. They've got their perspective and they're sticking to it. Ticket sales mean everything.

80% of any profit now comes after the movies have left the theaters. For most commercial movies, the run in the theater is now like an extended trailer.

Yep.

Video Games (which gross higher sales then the movie itself) are now released before the movie is even out.

King Kong Video game is already out.

I bought Madgascar Video Game for my cousin, with tax 43.00 bucks.

Yeah, poor people in Hollywood are barely making ends meet.
