Ticket prices are roughly keeping pace with inflation.

What HAS changed is viewship numbers. This shows at fairly steady decline since the '40s.

I suspect 1939 was a bumper year with so many movies from that year still being shown.

Including? Gone With The Wind. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Stagecoach. And a bunch others.
I've seen probably 14 of the top 20 grossing movies from that year. GWTW has grossed a mere 200Million$ which is peanuts by todays inflated standards.

Movie producers go for the 'easy' bucks rather than original or challenging films. You have to go 'indie' for THAT.
