no one goes to the movie theatres anymore
Ok, how about historically?
Why don't you expose yourself in a public park?
Are you saying what I think you're saying?
That depends on what you think I'm saying, chump.
More people, more theaters, bigger theaters. But you have the same problem with unadjusted box office gross so nothing matters they just make it up anyways.
Very true.
because people want money
because they don't use tickets to make movies.
Then they can launder ticket sales even easier. Disney already busses in urban youth to see their shitty flops to boost their on paper numbers. In your scenario, they just have to pay the theatre to lower prices or give millions of free tickets to nobody.

proof
Just look up any video from black panther premiers on twitter. You can see people posting sold out theatre rooms with no one in them. And also those videos of Black person classrooms getting "free" tickets
That wasn't disney giving out free tickets, those were charities and other bleeding heart groups. Now of course, disney probably had to call in a lot of favors and promise some more of their own to get it done, but ultimately it wasn't disney's money that bought the tickets.
How is tickets sold any different from money grossed, we all know the theaters take a 50% cut.
inflation
Because then you can have a better idea of how many people actually watched something. Ticket prices vary wildly across the country. If they are only counting money like morons, they have no idea how many people actually went out to watch these things. Even with shit like disney buying out theatres for their own movies, it would be a better indicator of what is actually popular and what people are actually making the trips out for.
some theaters are more expensive than others? theaters charge more money on friday and saturday evenings and in addition to all of that there's also matinee pricing (which is the only time I bother to go see a movie). and what about student and senior discounts? all these variables don't paint a clear picture whereas total number of tickets sold would
why do people on this board care about box office shit? like 25% of the threads on Cinemaphile at any given time are about numbers that only the theaters and studios should care about. why am i constantly having to see this shit? who gives a frick?
Culture war bullshit.
You may not have noticed this, but some people are more interested in politics than they are board topics. In fact, they may not even care about the board subject material at all, and are just here to stir shit
>my favorite movie flopped
>must be because of politics

>and are just here to stir shit
and they meet on discord servers
>why do people on this board care about box office shit?
it's interesting. stay mad, I guess.
Cinemaphile is a battleground for studio shills to wage war against each other. "look at these numbers!" "no look at THESE numbers!". it's just marketing. obviously no normal person cares how much money some israelite executive stands make or lose unless they're on the payroll.
it should also be noted that brainlet npcs are heavily influenced by public consensus. if a movie is a success NPC's instinct is to get in on it. if it's a failure they aren't going to bother because no one is going to be talking about it at the water cooler. it's effective marketing, but i don't know how much good it does flooding Cinemaphile with it, considering much of the userbase is contrarian by nature and not interested in the whims of the collective.
Because movies are commercial projects. Judge their financial success by their profitability and their artistic success by their reviews. Tickets sold is a useless metric.
Because inflation
Because ticket sales have nosedived over the decades and box office reports by the news media are meant to entice people to see movies not discourage them.
Do you mean including digital and physical copies sold? Because if not, well, amount of tickets sold tends to correlate with box office. But if you meant all sales then it's simple; there is an assumption that if people are not willing to go see it in theaters in "all its glory" then it just isn't worth seeing.
