Year to date, domestic box office sales are up 15% from 2008, and 21.8% from 2005. In fact, 2009 has been consistently breaking sales records every month. Three of the top ten April opening weekends in box office history happened this past month, including the number one of all time (Fast and Furious).
The biggest shocker from the high 2009 numbers is that we haven?t even hit blockbuster season yet. Traditionally, May-August is when the big budget, high grossing pictures hit theaters, and also the time of year that most studios make the majority of their money. This year, it?s all gravy from here on out.
