They are, according to top executives in the film industry. Ticket sales for the first week of October are at their lowest since 1999, and the industry is worried that those dang video games might have something to do with it.

Advertising Age reports that ticket sales were down 27% from last year, and that the likely suspect is the recently-released Halo 3, with over $300 million in sales and countless hours of multiplayer mayhem keeping potential movie-goers strapped to their couches. Now, in a wholly different way, video games are on the radar of the film industry, as studios begin to sweat the unforeseen competition. Oh, for the days when piracy was the only concern!

I was being sarcastic there, just making fun of how the movie people seem to think Halo is the first game that will make people sit down. Nothing else.
 
What? I just said that in the first post in the topic there are two copies of every word in the quote.
 
Fo sho. :)

But I wonder...the amount of people who play Halo 3...is nothing compared to the amount of people that visit the movies each weekend.

I dunno, movies don't really get much unless they're huge, like Transformers 2 and Harry Potter 6. They've really taken a beating. That's why tickets are $8.
 
Ive made a contribution to the cause of movies today. I saw the heartbreak kid. Charity has never been so hilarious. :lol
 
LMAO!!!!!!!!! HALO 3 RULEZ!!! I kinda feel sorry for the Movie Industry though. Wouldn't want them to crash or anything. How else will I ever be able to go to Gold Lounge, sit in a really comfy chair, and have free pop-corn and drink while whatching a movie on a HUGE screen?

Well, I could at home, but it aint the same. :)
