who agrees with me that box office numbers should be determined by the number of tickets sold rather than money pulled in? i know that studios need the monetary number for personal record keeping to see how successful their movie is, but i think it is an inaccurate figure when determining how many people saw the movie. case in point, not all theaters charge the same for a ticket, and then you have discounts for seniors, children, etc. which sway the total. and i know historical figures for older movies have been increased for inflation, but that doesn't always add up exactly. i think when determining what movie might be more popular than another, it is more fair to use concrete numbers (units sold) rather than monetary figures.
on that same note, that's how music is sold. but who else thinks that cd sales should not be boosted by the number of discs (ie, a double CD being 2 units, a triple being 3, etc.)? i mean it's all ONE copy/unit. just because you're buying 2 discs doesn't mean you're buying 2 products. i don't think it's fair that a double disc who actually only sold one million is deemed to have gone double platinum and sold more than a single cd that sold 1.5. doesn't make sense.
just some thoughts.
