My son recently wanted to go to the movies with his friends to see the new Star Wars movie. We made plans to have the boys here overnight and then I would take the boys to a local mall to see it the next day.
As we organized, my friend Debbie said, “Gee, I hope you manage to get in, should be a crowd there.”
I never thought to order tickets in advance, and worried the whole way there, that the boys might have a long line and wait, only to find it sold out.
It was quite the opposite; no lines, no wait, nothing. I left them there to do my shopping, pleased that my lack of forsight hadn’t caused a problem.
All this week, the news has been ringing how the ticket sales are down, down, down.
Not much of a movie goer myself, and having little taste for the likes of Hollywood, I didn’t find the news that surprising. They just don’t make movies that thrill me so much. I don’t rent, go to, nor watch many at all.
However, the news has been going on and on about this that I had to wonder…hmmm…what was the last movie people really got excited about? It came to me, The Passion of Christ.
One has to wonder, with Hollywood snubbing that movie the way it did, perhaps people are just snubbing back?
