"Tinseltown's recent setbacks suggest a crisis of major proportions, with a May USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll showing 48% of adults going to movies less often than in 2000. For 19 consecutive weeks, motion picture releases earned less (despite higher ticket prices) than the year before. Projected ticket sales for all of 2005 indicate a disastrous drop of at least 8% - at a time of population growth and a generally robust economy."
I wonder what % of the 48% going to movies less are like my wife and I. We are Christians, conservatives and Republicans. We refuse to pay our money to have our values spit on and made fun of by the perverts of Follywood.
"Another values-oriented phenomenon of last year similarly contributed to missing moviegoers: The Passion of the Christ earned $370 million by drawing religious-minded patrons who had long avoided movies altogether. Amazingly, no major release in the 17 months since the opening of The Passion attempted to appeal to that huge, wary churchgoing audience."
The only movie my wife and I went to last year and up to now was The Passion of Christ. We hosted a Dinner for 3 other couples this past Saturday. None of us have been to see a movie since the Passion. One couple saw it 3 times.
Personally, I hope the perverts of Follywood continue to insult Christians and Republicans. The poorer they become due to their flops, the weaker they become.
You are exactly right. Folks are smartening up. I will not give my money to people who hate me and make fun of my values. I have better and more important things to do with it. As long as the looney left continues to run Hollywood I will never give them another dime.
