That's all the shareholders, advertisers and the corperation care about! Why change the business model if the bottom line is up? Thts why the 'inferior' DVD sales will only matter if the movie bombs in the box-office! This 'growth' has defied a world credit crunch, the loss of investment by various studios in HD-DVD & mass piracy? Sounds to me like the movie industry doesn't have much of a case against these so called 'pirates'...sorry, customers!

Sounds like a steady increase in price gouging to me... Movie revenues up 5%, but theatre admissions steady? Sounds like a steady increase in price gouging to me…

Despite all the annoyances of going to the cinema, people *still* want to watch movies in big screens with the family or some friends. After a movie goes out of office, people still value the experience, but here convenience plays a more important role. Like an easily accessible digital format and lack of DRM, for instance. This is what the MPAA has failed to notice and why they are failing to adapt to a world of evolving environments and preferences.
