In the late 1940s, the average of a person attends to the film for a year is 28; today it is 6. This numbers shows that in nowadays, it’s really easy for people to get a movie without entering the theaters. Last but not the least, though the U.S. population is increasing, however, the size of the market isn’t growing as fast as it is. The followings are the analysis and opinions.

I am a person who likes to go into the theater; the reason is that I get to have a couple hours without any thoughts and noise but
