I found this article at the Independent’s website that reports that despite the financial crunch, people are flocking to the theaters. In fact, 2009 might be the first year that the box office ticket sales reach $10 billion dollars. The president of Box Office Mojo, Brandon Gray says, “People need the movies, they inspire, they provide catharsis, they make people laugh, they thrill them – and all that is needed now more than ever.” It seems that people are looking for an escape from hard times and a trip to the movies is the best way to do it.
