Cinema Surpassed DVD Sales in 2009
wurl:
Last year was the first since 2002 that U.S. consumers spent more money buying movie tickets than buying movies to watch at home, underscoring the changing economics of Hollywood.
According to new data from Adams Media Research, Americans spent $9.87 billion at the box office in 2009, 10% more than in 2008, according to a report Adams plans to release Tuesday. At the same time, sales in the U.S. of feature films on DVD, long a cornerstone of movie studios’ business models, plunged 13% to $8.73 billion, including Blu-ray high-definition discs. (Other companies that track box-office receipts include Canada in their North American figures, adding about 7% to the total and pushing the year’s gross above $10 billion.)

About
hi. i'm fred: a user experience evangelist who enjoys better communication through design.
living in providence, i teach a few classes at the rhode island school of design (risd / cont ed) and run a small, one-man show called awkwardnovice.
as the antithesis to my own ideals, i use this space for throwing random bits of information against a wall.
who knows, some of it might even be useful to others.
