Hollywood is a failing and dying industry. 2019 has already sold the 3rd fewest tickets in 25 years. Over the next few weeks, it will drop to the fewest tickets in over 25 years. The number of tickets sold per person has dropped by over 40% since 2003. And it will continue to fall. Movies and TV will never be able to complete with videogames, social media, youtube, and the internet generally. Despite the manufactured realities you are seeing on the fiefdoms controlled by media corporations, Hollywood is no longer able to export its culture to the rest of the USA. The only successful films are culturally empty capeshit or 30 year old remakes. Hollywood is facing a long, painful, inexorable, and invitable path toward cultural irrelevance.
>1995 >$11,129,593,086 >2019 >$11,249,928,169 Oh no, they've still got three and a half months left in the year and they've already surpassed total box office sales in '95 and '17. Movies are dead. They're so dead. Everyone save the women and children first, the end is coming and we're all going to be judged.
Ayden Gutierrez
if hollywood dies who will fill the vaccum genuine question here
So we’re going to ignore the cultural phenomenon of that marvel movie that came out this year? You’re going to ignore inflation, actual sales and the fact 19 sold more than 17?
For the sake of your shitty argument brewed to get (You)s? Well it worked I guess. Fuck off nigger.
Jaxon Barnes
Annualized rate means that is a projection based off of current numbers, and based on that projection, 2019 will not have the lowest ticket sales in 25 years. The OP is retarded. Inflation is still valid, but that's not what the OP was about.
number of tickets sold retard. as in number of purchases. not sales. sales are the dollar value of units sold. tickets sold is the units sold. what is the color of your skin?
Charles Stewart
>flat rate inflation calculator Hope you realize how fucking retarded you’re being.
Ryan Green
>I haven't seen a movie since the Last Jedi. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Hudson Ross
we are at the end of the summer season. so the anualized rate is going to be very high right now. over the next few weeks, the annualized rate with fall because september and october are low months. you are wrong. and also you are a nigger.
Noah Brooks
It was still possible to make movies without pissing in the face of the audience.
Jaxon Rivera
What is your point. The annualized rate is a projection for year end sales. The projection for 2019 is higher than 2017. The OP is retarded for saying 2019 will the lowest in ticket sales for 25 years. You are retarded for not being able to read or understand what a fucking annualized rate is. You're also retarded because the 11 million box office for 1995 is adjusted for inflation, and 2019 is projected to surpass that figure. You're so fucking stupid. Learn to read a chart.
Julian Nguyen
china (and thats a good thing)
Carson Martin
Explain
Jason Torres
not as retarded as the guy he replied to who seemed to not know inflation exists at all
Chase Martinez
/this
Christopher Diaz
didn't he already use the adjusted number
Asher Cooper
see you irredeamable giganigger
Ryan Taylor
The sold tickets seem to be more or less stable, but the world population grew since 1995 (it was 5.7 billion then, 7.7 billion now).
Landon Sullivan
China will try to fill the gap but all they export is nationalistic tripe so they'll get beat out by American streaming services.
Ryan Rodriguez
That 9/11 bump
Juan Barnes
In case you are retarded, which I think you are, Winter is the second busiest time for movies. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the single biggest days for movie theatres. You're literally a nigger, and I will repost this thread come Jan. 1st 2020 to btfo you fucking porch monkeys.
William Martin
True, but Still, completely ignorant to use flat rates for inflation. Using a flat rate for inflation makes practical sense for quick calculations, but overall you must understand how the economy grows for the dollar to be worth less and simultaneously have similar exchange worth. I won’t explain it for you, you can read that online; but the question in point you’re asking is this: The price of bread is still about $2.50 for a loaf in 2019. The near same price it was in 1995. Obviously, the price didn’t jump 68% because of the farming and market industry that handles the wheat. Since nothing new has happened in the industry since, the price has never needed adjustment and it’s a common household price.
Alexander Hughes
I haven't watched a movie in theaters in almost a decade. The last one I saw was TDKR.
Carter Ross
I realized the other day that the last three movies I've seen in theaters have been starring Jason Statham. If he's not in it, I'll wait until video release or just not watch it at all.
Blake Myers
I can't wait for a couple of years from now when Hollywood goes completely bankrupt, all the jews go back to Israel, blacks go back to Africa, and America is restored to it's former greatness. Surely Yea Forums will be right this time.
Ryder Ward
rent free
Jaxson Watson
there's no way this is accurate
there have not been mega blockbusters every year since 1995
1998 WOULD NOT have sold more tickets than 1997 that was the year of the Titanic the first international blockbuster that put the same ass in seats 2-5 times
1997 also had huge releases like the Jurassic park sequel men in black the star wars releases the last chris farley movie etc etc
1998 had armageddon, that's it
yet 1997 lost to 1998? even if you discount foreign ticket sales 1997 would still beat 1998. in fact until the mid 2000s 1997 would've beat all the years
and also getting the the mid 2000s, there's no rise in tickets sold starting in 2008 when chinks and street shitters started becoming the dominant ticket buyer for the garbage hollywood releases
this whole chart is just numbers someone pulled out of their ass
Jose Russell
I foresee movies shifting to streaming services and theaters eventually dying out, or becoming niche. New movies will be released at a buy-now price where it's locked for a certain time and then eventually put out for everyone else.
I know, I know, "muh theater experience," but people will opt to pay to stream a new release if it's cheaper to do so than go to the theater.
Isaiah Green
The only theaters worth going to are Alamo Drafhouse because they specifically enforce rules of conduct that keep the hooting and hollering "urban" teenagers out.
Adam Roberts
This. You all are fucking insane for thinking any institution has been keeping a 90% + accurate account rate for all ticket sales. You do realize the third party has to beg studios for the numbers, right?
Caleb Diaz
Just imagine being able to buy new movies at home. They would literally print money.
Ian Peterson
The amount doesn't factor in the holiday seasons. We still got Frozen II, Star Wars IX, & other heavy hitters.
But, after this year, Disney is fucked in the box office. They used up all their fuel on turbo-blasting this year. Iger's jumping ship with a ransom & Disney has to make their streaming platform a success.
Cinema is dying. 2019 is the last big year. The 20s are going to be a revolution on so many fronts.
Easton Watson
It's US sales only dumb fuck
Christian Foster
this is the most depressing thing I've seen this year.
Tickets are getting hideously expensive, and there's not enough variety in releases.
Jaxon Watson
More like the cinema does not offer an experience worth the time & money. Why spend $16 on watching a movie you can't pause with a friend or some snacks when you can watch thousands of movies anywhere for the same price for an entire month?
>9.11 They don't want you to forget, even when watching a movie
Jacob Miller
the window between theatrical and home video is like a month now. unless it's something i'm dying to see, i can wait a few more weeks.
Elijah Taylor
Already filled by video games, streaming, youtube and whatever else people do with their internet connection.
David Brown
>be 11yo me >used to love films >couldn't afford to go with frequency because I was a poorfag in a third-world country >time passed >got a job and enough money to pay for the ticket and the bus fare >used to go to the cinema and watch anything, even horror movies that I'm not a fan >the only exceptions were capeshit and kids' movies >Disney starts to grow >The Mule from Clint Eastwood wasn't released in my region and I would definitely watch it >barely going to the cinema anymore >watching football, youtube, animes and series >spending my money on books and japanese light novels >every once in a while I remember the whole experience of going to the theater with my family when I was a kid >one cinema I used to go is almost closing >sometimes I go there and walk alone among the marble columns and glass walls thinking about everything I lived there Cinema is dying and a small part of me is dying too.
For me, it’s sodapoppin and clintstevens I don’t even have cable tv anymore I also remember the last time I saw a movie in theaters and even when I did it was most likely at a budget theater with $2 tickets for old movies
Hunter Young
I don’t watch anything that has anti white + blackwashing shit or feminism in it, so films like Thor Ragnarok can fuck right off. And before retards screech “incel” I’m actually a married woman of two young boys, I’m not spending money on trash.
Jaxson Jackson
omg 200~ million tickets out of 1.2 billion this is big fucking news, hollywood is dead!
This doesn't mean that Hollywood is dying. Theaters are dying and mainstream film is dominated by franchise milking and capeshit, mostly thanks to Disney.
The film industry will always be here, theaters in particular are just being utterly destroyed because of blockbuster fatigue and repetition with sequels, remakes, etc. Hollywood already creatively "died" a decade ago
Ethan Bennett
What is an EDL?
Matthew Anderson
>entertainment is being decentralized
cool
Jacob Green
Hollywood will die without theaters unless they increase the cost of home media by several orders of magnitude
Brandon Ross
They probably dont have enough niggers in lead roles
Owen Johnson
>Hollywood is a failing and dying industry. I've been saying that since the late '90s. And then the normalfags reached the internet, what meant even less tickets.
Dylan Barnes
Race war
Asher Morgan
>Every movie is some Disney shit reboot or from the same "universe" with some political agenda >surprised no one is going
Bentley Bell
VR like in Ready Player One.
Caleb Clark
>expecting me to pay $30 to sit next to some fat disgusting noisy fuck and watch the latest capeshit or shitty horror movie that disney/blumhouse shat out instead of watching kino on my 65 inch flat screen in the comfort of my own home
>They don't want to make good movies, they want to demoralize us. Good movies usually demoralize you. The real ones. Try some science fiction.
Connor Walker
Rocketman and OUTIH are some good movies that were released this year. Maybe you just have shit taste.
Parker Foster
i've only seen 3 of these
Connor Collins
Hopefully the ‘revolution’ is that they stop beating white audiences over the head about how evil they collectively are. Whitey is still the biggest market, no wonder sales are decreasing. And before anyone tells me to GB2/pol/, I’m not white, and even I’m getting tired of the clear anti-white agenda. Hollywood needs a purge. Loxism is out of hand.
When was the last time Disney own an award for Best Picture
Bentley Nelson
Sorry, but there are no women on the internet.
Levi Thomas
with fiber internet and 4k streaming there is no reason to go to a theater for a worse picture quality, niggers and blinding phone screens
Jace Brooks
>When was the last time Disney own an award for Best Picture Hopefully never.
Isaiah Jones
Get woke go broke.
Lincoln White
If you've wondered why the video game industry has had such an influx of agenda pushing, it's because it is worth considerably more than the other entertainment industries combined. Movies and television are dying out.
I must also add the majority of the money a movie makes during its theatrical run is from international box office receipts, with domestic being less & less of a chunk. China & India are big, but who know how things can change.
Charles Lewis
Disney has 37% market share and that's with Frozen 2 and Star Wars Ep.9 yet to come. How will WBcucks ever recover?
Carson Gray
in 1995, 1 in 4.68 people bought a movie ticket. in 2019, 1 in 6.10 people will have bought a movie ticket.
That's a 30% drop. What went wrong?
Carter Ward
A combination of things. Bad theaters, writing by executive, rise of home entertainment options, more variety in other types of media, following the trend instead of standing out.
Jack Peterson
Remakes, reboots, sequels, prequels, threequels, generally bad movies.
Kevin Price
Turns out those Mexicans that will accept being paid a dollar an hour to harvest crops don't want to spend 2 days wages on going to the cinema
Kevin Brooks
Combination of shit movies and people moving to video games and anime.
Even matinee's are up to like 8-9$. How do these cunts not realize people don't have fucking money? Plus, movies SUCK these days. Whodda thunk funneling all the money to retards in the software industry would be a bad idea?
Lucas Brown
IDK, but her in Frankreich, the price of our baguette consistently increased with inflation. I remember ppl complaining, the baker saaid we had poor crops this year. But when the crops are good the price never go down, it always goes up.
Adrian Lee
Just make everyone black lol
Liam Moore
People don't have money. Years of capitalism being unchecked has truly fucked USA and it's gonna get worse with automation making more and more jobs unnecessary. Vote for Andrew Yang in 2020 to save the country before it's too late.
Liam Morales
Imagine actually thinking Yang will get the nomination
James Foster
>Movies and TV will never be able to complete with videogames, social media, youtube, and the internet generally. It's not that, the movies are just dog shit If i could watch Attack on Titan in theatres before it airs on tv, like 5 episodes at a time or something, i'd pay £50 for the experience I thought the same about game of thrones when it was good
Cooper Rogers
Good thing Disney is still breaking every record in the book. There won't be any movies from other companies in a few years.
Logan Stewart
>fucking Toy Story 4 made a billion >fucking Aladdin beat it >fucking Captain Slatch beat that Fucking gas everyone. Jews, black, gentile, fucking anthrax shell every city I don't care anymore.
Asher Brooks
No good movies have come out this year, why is this consider a big deal
>8 Hollywood movies rake in 85% of the total box office revenue of the year
This is disturbing.
Cameron Thomas
Most of that vidya game money is microtranscations and mobile.
Hunter Anderson
Fucking disgusting and pathetic. They'll never be your friends and just want to milk you for your money, idiot. Do something with your life and free time instead of watching men play video games. Your parents and ancestors would be deeply ashamed if they knew how you're throwing your life away. I'm not saying you need to watch movies.. but fuck anything is better than watching streamers.
Daniel Nguyen
I look at this and I see a totally sustainable business model. Nothing to worry about.
Grayson Foster
You’re all stupid to think “Hollywood” ever dies. Hollywood is just the name plebs give to the American entertainment industry. It’s constantly shifting and evolving. All the “new media” is being rolled up into the same old machine. Sure, Movies are fading away as the preeminent product of this mechanism, but it’s only being replaced by things that are or can become part of it.
Grayson Anderson
television is in a golden era
Christopher Green
Burn Hollywood, burn
Daniel Diaz
Fug take me back
Nathaniel Morris
streaming is not television
Gabriel Rivera
Good. Going to a movie theater is frankly an awful experience. They don't have the theaters dark enough, the sound system is never calibrated correctly, and they never fucking mask the screen for the aspect ratio.
Cameron Rodriguez
Or even Bernie LULZ!
Trump will win no matter what happens from now till election.
Nolan Jenkins
Back when I was a little zoom, watching other people play games pissed me the fuck off. It was only at a sleepover that I might watch a friend play a few hours before I squeezed my way in to play. Now if my friends were padding their gameplay, standing around doing nothing and responding to twitch chat the whole time, I would have cut they thoat
Cooper Murphy
When did I say I gave them money? You’re a dumb incel lol I don’t have a fucking twitch account
Parker Thomas
Wasting your time is arguably worse since you could be using it to build a skill rather than turning off your brain and watching some queer play video games. I don't believe for a second that you don't have a twitch account but ok.
Dylan Ward
but it is
its as semantic a distinction as using "hollywood" seriously
Xavier Nelson
I don’t care what you believe lol you’re obviously a retard if you can’t multitask. Not that I even care about what you’re saying right now considering you’re trying to tell someone they’re wasting their time while you’re here posting stupid as fuck comments. have sex you dumb incel
