Movie attendance down... let's blame piracy.

What's the problem? Besides movie theater owners, who gives a crap about how movies do in the theaters?

The movie makers sure aren't hurting from it, with DVD sales still going up.

Well, right, that's why movie makers aren't complaining... at all.

This guy agrees, apparently.

One day movies will go direct to home theatres.

I just read that "Passion of the Christ" pulled in just under a billion dollars in theaters and DVD sales.

That's some cheese.

No, I don't think that'll completely happen. It might go to home theatre faster. I've seen some places that have a movie screen in a pub setting. That makes for a fun night. Kinda like an indoor drive-in.

More proof that the MPAA is losing money in the theatres.

Sarcasm implied.

Maybe they enforce courtesy. I've heard some theatres in Europe jam cell phones.
