US cinema attendances plummet

Coz we all poor now.
People without jobs, don't go to the movies

The number of people going to cinemas this summer in America was the lowest for two decades.

A total of 533.5 million tickets were sold, down four per cent from last summer, and the worst attendance figures since 1993.

Revenues from ticket sales fell to $4.27 billion (£2.69 billion), down three per cent from a record $4.4 billion last year.

Experts said the July 20 mass shooting at a cinema in Aurora, Colorado during a showing of Batman film The Dark Knight Rises, may have had some effect.
