With inflation, and more theaters going up every year, just makes it easier for the old records to be broken

Lets say movie 1990
Then theaters had 50 seats and there was 30 theaters at $5 a ticket.
Lets say they sold out the movie 100%
That would be 1500 seats sold, and 7500 in revenue.

Now lets look at movie 2018
Each theater now as 150 seats and there is 70 theaters. Each ticket is also $20.
But only 50% of the seats fill at each theater this time.
There still is 5625 seats sold and the movie makes 112500 in revenue.

The 1990 movie could have sold more tickets if more seats were available (though not necessarily would happen) 2018 sold about 4x more tickets and made 15x more money.
