But theaters stay open and the studios haven't closed up shop so certainly someone is going to see what is being produced. I don't go often either but it's a mixture of not finding something I find interesting (the blurb) showing and of course the rising cost of getting in the door. Where I live it used to be $4.50 for the weekend matinee, then it went up to $5.00 and now last I checked it was up to $5.50 which isn't that much less than the cost on weekdays. Course part of that is probably the economy which might explain some ebook prices as well to a degree. It might also in part at least explain why people turn to publishers who publish just about anything too. If the big boy publishers publish less and sometimes only those that they feel can really bring in the $$ then the unknown author who is trying to break into the business might go with the other publisher who seems to publish anything.
