Hate to break it to them but the issue is this: cost to go to the movies now. I've turned into a once a week movie goer. The theatres are nearly empty all the time during the week, evenings included. People think it's nuts to pay nearly $20 to see a film. Truly - full adult price is $19, add $2 for VMAX and more for 3D, getting to $24! Why would you when you can delay the gratification and buy the thing for not much more or find a teenager who is downloading it anyway? In the US, this would be laughed at. If they aren't considering the impact of ticket prices here, they aren't looking at the whole picture.
