ecstasy Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 People may party but they still go to work /school.What? It's still the "Holiday Season". I didn't say it was Christmas Vacation. And for the record, most people work during the holiday season anyway. They have Christmas and NY off.

Elessar Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) What has "Holiday Season" got to do with anything? Yesterday was a normal day, just like a regular monday in i dunno March or September. People don't go more to movies just because holiday is in the air, they go when they have more time available.A lot of people must have off in the last third of December or else midweek numbers would not be as big as they are, especially those that go to school.

But the holiday season has started regardless of all of that.Last year people went to the movies during this time.

Elessar Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Sure, and fall movie season starts in September. My point is, the way ECSTASY worded it, it seems like he way saying people go to the movies more this time of the year. Box office data doesn't support that. A Monday in the first halt of December is pretty much like every other Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Monday in the first halt of December is pretty much like every other Monday.Didn't more people go to the movies last year during this season? I wasn't specifically talking about just this Monday.And you didn't even dispute that at first. Your first argument was that the Holiday Season didn't start until next week. It is the holiday season and usually the movies released during this period are of better quality and have much better box office.

Around Thanksgiving people have a few days off (i assume, i don't live in the USA), that's why numbers are inflated, and as previously said in the last third of December, leading up to Christmas and New Year. Otherwise box office behaves ordinary.As far as Holiday Season goes, i meant the time when people actually don't have to work or go to school.
