There are just more options now in general. More big budget genre movies, more TV shows to watch than ever. Not to mention people wasting more time on their phones.

True, and movies being available for stramings soon after release doesmdo help either, especially with high ticket prices.

Yet Avatar managed to make close to $3 billion worldwide and no other movie even comes close to kicking it off #1 (not including inflation.) It was in 2009 - entertainment was no different really than it is now. Bottomline is, if the movie calls for it people WILL go to the cinema to see it. It has to be a particular movie, though. 

I honestly thought TFA would be the ONLY movie to come close to beating Avatar yet it didn't even come close either. Anyway, I doubt IW will beat TWA's worldwide. If it does then seriously WOW!
