I made a list of all year:how many movies released in that year, there are about 17725 movies released from year 1887 till year 2015.
For more details on how I made that list
From 1967 to 1981, movies per year has been averagely rising up.
and from 1981 to 2004, it has been rising up a lot faster.
but from 2004 till today, movies per year have been going down much faster.
I think the movies amount is declining because the people are not going to the movie theaters much like before.
Why would they go when they can watch the same thing from home, comfortable and wearing no pants, just 2-3 months after it's release date.
What makes people go to the movies these days is the iMax 3D stuff, but not all movies have that feature and not all movies are worth watching in 3D anyway.
so IMO, in order for a movie to really win in the box office, it has to be not only worth watching, but also visually stunning with the 3D/iMax feature, which puts alot of pressure and constraints on the movie producers.
what do you think ?
