:rofl: Wish I'd seen that poll while it was still open. I'd have added my vote to the majority there.jma2001 said:http://www.cnn.com/POLLSERVER/results/18464.content.html
I'm guessing whoever wrote that poll for CNN is not too impressed with the latest crop of movies.
The poll is still open, actually, you just have to go to the cnn.com home page and look for it in the lower right corner.Moonbear said::rofl: Wish I'd seen that poll while it was still open. I'd have added my vote to the majority there.
I agree that once in a while something comes out that I'd watch, but it's rare that I feel compelled to run to see something in the theater. I haven't even turned on my A/C yet (probably will need to do so this weekend though), so even that's not a compelling reason to head to the theater yet.hypatia said:
The box office has been in a slump for several weeks now, with ticket sales declining and many movies underperforming.
There are several factors contributing to the box office slump, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, competition from streaming services, and a lack of major blockbuster releases.
It is difficult to predict the future of the box office, but as long as the pandemic continues and major releases are delayed, it is likely that the slump will continue for some time.
Some experts suggest that studios should release more movies directly to streaming services or offer simultaneous theatrical and streaming releases to adapt to the current situation. Others believe that the box office will bounce back once the pandemic is under control and audiences feel safe returning to theaters.
The box office slump has significant consequences for the film industry, including financial losses for studios, theaters, and other businesses that rely on movie ticket sales. It may also lead to changes in the way movies are released and distributed in the future.
