U.S. Movie Attendance for 2017 Falls to 25-year Low

Description

According to Business Insider, the total number of movie tickets sold in the United States for 2017 was 1.239 billion, the lowest figure since 1992. According to Box Office Mojo, the main reason is that people are choosing to stay home and watch streaming content. Jeff Bock, senior analyst for Exhibitor Relations, tells Business Insider, "Studios are lagging behind for the very simple reason that they are relying on retreads and reboots, and most of those aren't being well received."

  • Horror Show: AMC May Be Bone Dry Of Cash At Year's End

    Gizmodo reports ailing theater chain AMC might be totally broke by the end of 2020. In financial filings, the company disclosed on Tuesday that it may require 'additional sources of liquidity or increases in attendance levels' to survive. In other words, it'll need more cash or more butts on seats--or both. The company cites low attendance and a delayed movie release schedule during the coronavirus pandemic. If those don’t change, AMC may pursue additional debt and equity financing, renegotiations with landlords, asset sales, or joint ventures. They're not alone. Competitor Regal Cinemas has also disclosed it will need fresh funds by early 2021 if the winter results in 'prolonged' shutdowns.
