14.6 percent: Amount box-office attendance has risen so far from this same time at 2011, which saw a 16-year low in admissions. A variety of reasons for this boom could be responsible for this boom, including an increase in more appealing films as well as a turnaround in the ecomonic client. Some also speculate that the mild winter across a lot of the U.S. is responsible, saying more people are heading out to the movies instead of staying in and renting.
