I hear how badly the movie industry is doing, while they keep breaking sales records. I don't believe it at all. It is, and always has been, a hits-oriented business. This means profitability analysis is total nonsense.
- jhall1468 9y agoSales records in film are flat values, not inflation-adjusted values. Avatar is the only film in the 2000s to break the top 10 for inflation-adjusted revenue from film. So they aren't breaking sales records, or even close to it, they are breaking "dollars earned" records. Inflation-adjusted costs of going to a movie have remained fairly even, while inflation-adjusted sales figures have plummeted.
