Hollywood's box office revenue went from 36 billion to 38 billion in the last year alone, and is projected to go from 38 billion in revenue in 2016 to 50 billion in 2020. TV and video sales, *only* increased by 37 billion dollars last year.  Apparently forcasting 30% growth over a 4 year period is "hurting".

Once again your opinions have no basis in fact.

Revenue is a meaningless number alone. What are operating profits? I mean we have movies that are costing these days 300+ million dollars.

But I'm also betting that the majority of that "revenue" is concentrated in one company. Disney. I mean what movies are the ones raking in a billion dollars roughly. It's the marvel mvoies, the new disney animated movies, the Star Wars movies. All disney.

Yeah, Disney's dominance of the box office last year was pretty impressive. If we go back to Force Awakens, they've had the only movies to reach a billion in revenue (Force Awakens which did 2 billion, Civil War, Dory, Zootopia and now Rogue One) and Jungle Book at number 6, which did $966 million.
