The incredible shrinking movie audience?
OK, I know this appears in the New York Post, so it should be taken with a grain of salt. But... Well, you know what they say about a clock being right twice a day.
Case in point: My 26 year old daughter and her husband watch lots of movies, but they have probably seen one or two in a theater in the past six months. Heck, maybe even one or two in the past year.
They rent dvds from a local store once in a while when there is a special deal going, but dvd rental stores are going to eventually go the way of the dinosaurs, too.
Their main sources are Netflicks (because it is convenient) and downloading films from the Internet (which is time-consuming right now but is getting more convenient by the day).
