Last year, 403 movies were released in the U.S.  The year before that:  329. That’s about half of what the industry was putting out pre-COVID:  786 in 2019, 737 the year before. So, here’s my question:  even with these reduced numbers, how many of them do you know? That you even just heard of? Don’t feel bad. It’s always been like this. Some movies come and go so fast they never register, some are small indies that barely – if at all – make a blip on the box office radar.
