You're misusing causality. Fewer people go to the movies now because there's less reason to, not because they have less money.
Feel free to show your data that supports your statement.
The chart I posted shows lower box office sales. Where is your data saying/showing the equivalent purchase of day 1 streaming that your asserting ?
Why is there no dip for the 2008 Great Recession? There was no streaming alternative or pandemic then, and thus no dip.
2023 is after the pandemic. The 2023 numbers are BELOW the pre-pandemic levels. The the pandemic doesn't appear to have any affect here. Said other way, if the pandemic drop was completely deleted, there would STILL be a decline in movie theater attendance.
So again, you're agreeing with me when we disagree with Tsujimoto's statements that people will continue to go to the movie theater.
The pandemic caused shutdowns of many, many filming schedules and caused massive backups once they could resume, contributing to a drought of releases in 2023. What movies besides Barbie and Oppenheimer do you remember having any big marketing push?
There was also the writers strike.

Where does that chart show proof of your statement?
