Hollywood Record Year
In 2009, Hollywood studios will receive about $ 10.6 billion in box office sales in the United States and Canada alone, a billion more than last year.
In 2009, a record number of films were also produced ( 1,142 ). In general, it seems that the movie business does not suffer from the notorious piracy, but quite the contrary, TorrentFreak writes and adds that this year there was a significant increase in attendance on all the major torrent trackers.
However, record revenues are unlikely to stop Hollywood bosses from attacking P2P. After all, they can always say: if it were not for these vile pirates, we would have earned not ten, but twenty billion!
In fairness, we note that in discussing the prosperity of the film business, we did not take into account inflation. Still, the dollar has significantly lost in value in recent years, and ticket prices have also risen, which partly explains the increase in box office. For example, in 2002 the average ticket price was $ 5.81, in 2006 - $ 7.18, and this year - already $ 7.46 (and 1.4 billion tickets sold, although 1.6 billion were sold in 2002) .

Cash gathering is no longer growing by 10% per year, as it happened in 1970-2000, and a kind of trend reversal happened exactly in 2002 . In fact, from this point onwards, the annual growth of box-office fees does not exceed dollar inflation. So maybe the digital revolution has really badly affected cinema attendance.
In addition, there is still a drop in sales of DVDs, although a billion-dollar increase in box office sales will certainly compensate for any drop in DVD, because the market volume there is about half the size .
