Variety reports that this grim, dismal economic downturn has somehow produced record box office numbers. Just like most grim, dismal economic downturns. Somehow the studios have generated $4.7 billion in gross ticket sales since mid-may, which is enough to buy Marvel Productions and leave some to make a sequel to TRANSFORMERS. They expect the coming 3-day weekend to drag in another $100 million.
What do you think - more people out of work and tired of spending all day clicking around Craigslist? An intense emotional need to see Harry Potter growing up? Quality air conditioning? What's sucking people into these theatres?
