20 something films means 20 solid films with great big picture story at universe level spanning over various sub franchise.
On other hand, couldn't put a good plot for second film taking 13 years. The working point for A2 remains, "it has good visuals". Good luck running that for 3rd, 4th and 5th time.

btw my example was a bit wrong. real analogy would be a baniya won't be happy if he sell 15/30 items, with 15 being wasted in stock vs selling 25/30 in 2016, even tho due to inflation he may have same or higher revenue.
Since you pointed COVID19 and Exchange rates, they have actually raised importance of admission tracking.
More admissions means more popcorns/snacks sold, which is bigger revenue for theaters than share in gross. Other stuff like more parking revenue, more ad revenue and so on.
Admission are the truer data of cinema health, not just gross.
Admission is the primary activity. ATP, exchange rates, etc are variable. When analysing/forecasting, its the admission data that is the key and then you factor in the variables.
