A few weeks ago, I read another article that made a pretty compelling case that the movies are doing just fine, thank you. A 15% decline is bad, but hardly the end of the world and speaks a lot more to the films released this summer and their quality and not much else. The implication that people are streaming and watching their screens rather than going to cinemas is probably valid, but it may also be exaggerated. Most people do both. There are lots of movies that need to be seen on big screens. I suspect that what is really happening is that people are just watching a lot more.
