Are Broadway shows, concerts, and amusement parks really the best comparisons to movies? Those other things are yearly events at best for most people whereas I feel like the theaters and studio expect movies to be quarterly or even monthly events for people, more of a bread and butter type of entertainment rather than a special event. You start comparing movies to TV or video games and its $10-$20 for 2 hours of content versus $10-$20 for a month of streaming for TV or $60 for 20-100 hours for a video game (sometimes 400 or more if you are a nerd like me) and it isn't nearly as rosy a comparison. Why are those not good comparisons?
