informal poll: the moving picture show



So there have been a number of articles in recent weeks about how box office revenues are steadily declining -- particularly this year. Many of these stories pontificate this means the death of American Moviegoing Culture and that exhibitors are doomed. This morning there was finally a good, balanced piece that at least proffered some potential solutions. This was also a really strategic hit for us.

Anyway, I wanted to take this discussion off the Hollywood backlots, out of the New York boardrooms and bring it to Everytown, USA. I want to know what Joe Cakebuilder and Sally Lunchpail think about going to the movies. I'm curious to hear what folks have to say.

1) Do you enjoy going to your local multiplex to see new releases? Any more or less than a few years ago?
2) Do you think Hollywood movies are getting any better or worse than they used to be?
3) Would you rather watch a movie in a theatre or at home on DVD? Does it depend on what kind of film (action/adventure, drama, comedy, etc.)?
4) Anything else?
