Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

RE: Yeah, but...

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.
Too much is never enough
