WONDERFUL YEAR FOR THE MOVIES

IN MY OPINION;

WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

WONDERFUL YEAR FOR THE MOVIES, AND ATLANTA IS NUMBER ONE IN THE USA..

Total box office revenue for 2018 is expected to exceed $11.8 billion by year’s end, a 6.1 percent jump on last year, and an all-time record for an industry that was almost written off last year after failing to match 2016’s $11.3 billion haul.

The uptick is also unprecedented, given the extent to which Netflix and Amazon have moved into the theatrical movie business, posting films immediately online or in tandem with cinema releases.>>

>>While quality of content remains the driving factor for movie attendance, improved cinema seating and food may also have lured audiences to theaters.

>>Even President Donald Trump may have had an effect on ticket sales, with audiences seeking to escape the news cycle.<<
