"Hi! I'm the VCR. I was responsible for The Empire Strikes Back having a 30% drop from A New Hope, all by making ESB have a shorter run. I did this even though I was in fewer than 2% of U.S. households in 1980. Yet I and my descendants DVD and Blu-ray were somehow unable to prevent future films like E.T., Back to the Future, Unforgiven, Titanic, Avatar, and Frozen from having long theatrical runs. Why this is, nobody can explain, but somebody on the internet said I did it, so it must be true." |
Empire was released in the second oil crisis and the US had only 230M inhabitants.
