So to expand on the DUmmie's logic (irony alert here) if people stopped spending money on going to the movies, what do they think would happen to the economy? Movie studios employees thousands of people all the way from the lowly vendor who sells food, towns and locations that allow films to be made, to the writers, directors and actors (and their entourages) who perform in the movies. Weren't the DUmmies wringing their hands a few months ago during the strike that shut down TV production and put many people out of work? That caused a huge ripple effect in the economy especially in Los Angeles.
Again, their grasp (or decided lack of) economics is astounding. They really do not understand free markets and capitalism at all. If a movie is raking in $100 million and is considered a blockbuster, you can bet that the return on investment is great. Lots of profit being made there. Which is a good thing.
If people decided to stay home and not spend that "100 million", lots of people would suffer financially. I bet even a few DUmmies would. Someone would be posting on DU complaining about losing their job because the theater owner couldn't afford to keep them on as a concession stand employee.
Idjits.
