As the summer season ended in the US on Labor Day, September 3, the headlines in the US consumer and trade media trumpeted an all-time box-office record. Revenues were up by nearly 9% on last year, hitting an unprecedented $US4.18 billion. That beat the previous record summer of $3.95 billion in 2004.
Not only was it the first time the $4 billion barrier had been surpassed, four blockbusters- Spider-Man 3, Shrek the Third, Transformers and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End – each pulled in more than $300 million, an historic feat. And in another first, 15 movies earned $100 million or more during the summer season, which began on May 1.
Yet beneath the hype and the headlines, there were several signs of cold economic reality. The actual number of tickets purchased - 610 million – was way below the peak summer of 2002, when audiences gobbled up 653 million tickets.
