Do Movies Make Less Money Now?

[grampahol]

There will always be a certain amount of people who love going to theaters even if price of admission is higher. The better the quality of the theater itself has a bearing on it plus the location and the other venues close by factor in especially in bigger cities. Like it or not the US Isn't the only country that people love watching movies.  Whether they make as much money as years bygone is irrelevant. Movies still turn a ton of profits for the studios and they are usually released worldwide instead of just in the country of origin. When venues such as Netflix and others release movies people pay for the privilege to watch through licensing fees...your subscription whether it's $7.99 or whatever. You can typically only watch one movie at a time anyway and there's also closed captioning and some are released in several languages and options to change languages. 
I watch a lot of movies with subtitles from all around the world and a lot of old movies from other countries. I just finished watching the rerelease of Diobolique from France made before Psycho, etc., in 1955. Great film by the way. Véra Clouzot was really hot in it. Too bad she was only in 3 movies. 
At any rate I could care less how much money a film makes for the people making it. Some of the great films of all time were box office flops and never turned a profit. 
Try a subscription to Filmstruck through various streaming services . Lots of great old classics from around the world.
