How so? Just because movies are more popular than reading? The cost of a lost sale is similar on a movie or ebook. Possibly buying a movie might be more expensive than an ebook, but renting a movie is much cheaper and usually an option. Are you including pirated movies that are screen grabbed and distributed before they officially hit the big screen? That could have a serious impact as the cinema usually is needed to offset the insane amount of production costs (compared to a book).
