Dr J, per capita movie attendance has been in decline for decades. According to http://org.elon.edu/ipe/pautz2.pdf, about 30% of the population went to the movies weekly in 1950, compared to about 10% by 2000. Despite population growth, fewer people are going to the movies today than did 60 years ago.
