TDYLF Explores the Numbers Behind the Business of Movies

— November 9, 2011 — Pop Culture
This slightly disturbing and enlightening infographic, brought to you by the good people at TDYLF, explores some fun and some not-so-fun facts and figures about the entertainment industry.

There is nothing quite like a trip to the movies to make you feel like you've been robbed blind, between the high price of tickets and the ridiculous markup on popcorn (an astonishing 1275%), you're lucky if you get out of the cinema with one remaining fiver safely in your pocket. In spite of the ridiculous price of concessions and the sky-high price of admission, 72% of Americans go to the pictures at least once a year. Adults over 21 years of age are twice as likely to frequent the cinema than hit up a bar or club.

Showing no signs of slowing down, the success of the movie industry demonstrates that humans will stop at nothing to trod across a sticky floor and settle into a half-broken chair to a watch a film in the dark with a room full of strangers. This TDYLF may illustrate the ridiculousness of the cinema, but that won't stop me from buying my monthly ticket.
Trend Themes
1. Ridiculously Priced Concessions - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the food and beverage industry to offer more affordable and unique cinema treats.
2. Increasing Cinema Attendance - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the entertainment industry to create new experiences and engage audiences to increase cinema attendance.
3. Competition with Bars and Clubs - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the nightlife industry to attract adults over 21 years of age to alternative entertainment options.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Opportunity for the food and beverage industry to reimagine cinema concessions and pricing strategies to enhance the movie-watching experience.
2. Entertainment - Opportunity for the entertainment industry to leverage technology and immersive experiences to captivate and retain moviegoers.
3. Nightlife - Opportunity for the nightlife industry to create unique entertainment venues and experiences to compete with the popularity of cinema among adults.
