I skimmed the article. It looks like it has a lot of interesting information in it. I find the box office interesting, but I never sat down and looked at the data over several decades. (I've done this with music and video games.)
The most interesting chart at a first glance was the one with ticket sales going back to the 40's. I've heard, at various points, about factors that caused a decline in ticket sales, but it looks like the big one is from the 40's to the 60's. What the history of cinema/entertainment normally says is that this corresponds with the rise of TV which seems like a logical cause.
I'll see if I can make time to actually read over it. It looks interesting, but on the other hand it's extremely long.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
