Is the movie industry really hurting due to piracy?

Question

Piracy has taken a hit, but not enough to hear the movie industry whining. They have been ripping the public for years.

For example:

1 - The movie "Little Mermaid" made a chunk of cash in the theaters. It wasn't a box office smash, but did fairly good!

2 - Theater release to other countries made millions more

3 - DVD releases made it more money

4 - DVD rentals made even more money

5 - Pay-Per-View made some cash

6 - Cable subscribers (Like HBO) pay for some

7 - Broadcast on Network TV with commercials for extra cash

8 - Ten years later, it is Re-released and newly mastered! And makes more money

9 - Remastered DVD sales and rentals

etc..... etc....

How many times can they take the same crappy movie and turn it into cash?

Answer 1

seriously hollywood has no more ideas and is trying to either make money from the same movie or remake an old movie.

Answer 2

i really have no desire to see any new movies. they are all the same old plot with different actors...
