Flix Facts

O.K. folks, I'm really sick of hearing which movie is number one at the box office this week. With very few exceptions, it usually is the movie that was released this week. Of course, it's going to have higher attendance than a flick that been around for a week or more. Strange thing about people who go to the movies regularly. They go to see the latest film. Ergo the numbers will be higher! And the amount of money a film earns?! What was the price of a ticket for "Gone With The Wind"? It certainly wasn't $12 a pop! Obviously a film selling a half million tickets at $10 each ($5 million) does better than a film selling five million tickets at 50 cents each ($2.5 million). Let's compare the NUMBER of tickets sold; not the amount earned.
