Exhibitors are the ones who took it on the chins. The overwhelming majority of movies distributed this summer were ultimately profitable.

The key is that they were not as profitable as had been hoped. As I said in this week's MMQB, the key is in the lost revenue from opportunity cost for subpar movies.

I think it was the head of NATO who warned that 2015 would be tough for theater owners because studios are just saturating the summer. - Mop Sep 11, 09:08 2
- I don't think studio want films out of theatres as fast as possible, but more they want to make as much money as they can as quickly as they can. - Inigo Sep 11, 09:13 1
  - And things like Cap 2 doing 250mil and GotG doing 325mil isn't going to help sway them to space releases out. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:22
