2011 BOX OFFICE YEAR IN REVIEW

I was going to post this earlier but the website to my newspaper was down and I couldn't link to this as early as I wanted to. Anyway, the site is back up and now I am finally able to link to my annual Box Office Year in Review, which was published last week. There I run down the full Top Ten list of box office winners in North American domestic grosses. This year's big winner: Harry Potter (right).

Not much more to say, other than it was a down year overall for the box office for all kinds of reasons (3D, skyrocketing ticket prices) and a big year for complaints about how sub-par the moviegoing experience is these days for so many people.
