In reply to: Broadway's NETWORK Shatters All-Time Box Office Record at the Belasco Theatre - Official_Press_Release 10:32 am EST 11/26/18

Most likely every year, because of ticket prices rising, boxoffice records are shattered. But I get PR. That is why I like when movie stats often say what movies would be like in today's inflated prices - so Avatar, Star Wars, Black Panther, Titanic r are nothing if you look at inflation-adjusted for Sound of Music, Gone with the Wind, I think even movies like Bambi and Dumbo would blow away current animated films!

Also, Network has onstage seating, so has more seats than Hedwig, the previous record holder. There are 25 onstage seats, which generate about $10K per performance if they are sold at $399 each.

I saw that his tickets set a new record in the resale market. The average ticket is almost $1,800.

In the 30s, 65% of Americans saw 1 movie a week

It’s down to 4% now. I suspect tv helped drop those numbers. I’m sure going to the theater has declined over the years. Isn’t it less than 10% see more than 3 shows a year. Clearly not this sites demographics. But in my office, less than half see even 1 show a year and sf gets most of the tours and we have several top notch regional theaters.

I don't think it correlates in the same way. Movies were impacted by the VCR etc, as well as TV. It's a direct impact. Theatre is its own story.

It's neither here nor there but that 10%/3 shows statistic is absurd. Far less than 1% see even 1 show.

That would be more of a survey of theater goers

And not general population which probably is less than 1%, which of course would be my office mates.

if that's what it is, then fine. I guess one would have to self-identify?

And maybe national tours. Regional would be different survey and occasionally theaters do them but they probably are for internal use and not shared st the national level.

I guess what I meant was that, if you don't let people self-ID, then you would have to use a frequency question, and if you do that, you are basically answering your own question.

If the 65% statistic is true, then it's crazy to think about the decline of film audience. But, your logic makes sense.

It’s in print. The 4% was from another article.
