Interesting difference, it's almost as if the studios don't want us to know that less and less people go to the theater. So they make it seem like the industry is growing by raising ticket prices and adding premiums for 3D, DBOX, etc.

My point is that whatever number gets thrown out for the box office, it's meaningless. It's pretty silly to think that if half of the movie-going audience continued on to theaters at double what people are paying now, the studios (along with threads like this) would be raving about how successful things are. It's beyond silly, actually.

Music Industry production cost of a album mystery for the most part.  Gaming Industry same deal.  Movie Industry almost all production budget are easily available the only mystery is how much they spend on promotion and advertising but even that is disclosed more often then numbers in the music and gaming industry.  Also its widely know that the studios get about 60% of the total box office gross its a mystery how much off a cut the music and video game industry gets from total sales.
