to be akin to the sale to japan
of all the scrap steel that was
was returned to us as shrapnel.
Nobody really knew the true
enormity Of 1t all, though, until
a recent report by the Sind
linger and Co. research organi-
cation. The Sindlinger survey
Aas undertaken for the
Hheater Owners Of America and
lthe results bear out in spades
what the theater owners have
been saying.
Old movies on television for
free are too much competition
for new and even far superior
movies in theaters. what with
the parking problem and the
price Of baby sitters. Movie at
tendance has been declining
steadily for the past decade, as
anybody knows.
In this country 1t dropped
from 25.2 admissions per cap
ita in 1949 to 1876 in 1858. In
Great Britain the per capita
drop was from 2s.5 in l949 to
14.5 in 1858. Significantly. the
major decline in the United
States was In 1858, the year the
TV channels were flooded with
pre-l948 movies. In Great Brit
ain the big drop was in 1857
and 1858. when the staid BIC
got commercial TV competi-
ton.
The Sindlinger report trans
lates this into a set of figures
that undoubtedly have shaken
Hollywood where it shakes cas-
iest-in the bank balance. The
reason always given for sale Of
feature films to TV was that it
enabled a studio or distributor
to realize a handsome profit on
merchandise that otherwise
would only gather dust in a
vault.
This fine profit. however,
fades into red ink when the
researchers keep the books.
They figure it this way:
Sale of movies to television
brought in S67.9 million in
1857. S43.7 million in 1858 and
will have brought in an esti-
mated $29.l million by the end
of 1859. Loss to distributors in
film rentals because people
have been watching TV instead
of buying theater tickets is
figured at 1892 million in
1857. $S0.6 million in 1858 and
an estimated S58.2 million in
1859.
Totals: $l40.7 million in in
come from TV sales. $2l2 mil
lion in lost rentals. Net: $7l.3
million lost in rentals the dis
tributors didn't get because
they made it so entertaining to
stay at home.
So what are the owners of
the pre-l948 feature films
thinking of now? A lot of them
are thinking about selling
their wares to European tele-
vision. Oh, we'll. live and don't
learn.
