Records may be smashed (though Avatar's and Titanic's are still unbeaten) but so are the production and marketing budgets. The margins on film studios aren't as big as you'd think.

If it wasnt, they wouldn't be making multiple movies on the same cinematic universes every year. Everyone is jumping in on that. Even Universal.

If the movie is worth watching, people will pay to see it. I really don't agree that people seeing a movie in poor quality online = a missed sale. I think it wouldn't be a sale either way. So, i doubt that's affecting anyone majorly, but is no doubt a great excuse for failure.

I'll try finding the source but i remember reading a while back that 2015 broke records for box office revenue but despite having some huge hits, 2015 had one of the lowest box office attendances in the last 15 years.

It's sort of like the AAA gaming market, less overall titles but a few mega hits resulting in only a few studios really doing great.
