Piracy’s Real Influence on the U.S.

Film piracy has a very little impact on box office results in the U.S. but likely cuts into studio profits overseas depending on the time lag between a film’s American debut and rollout overseas.

This is really interesting. Studios are freaking out about piracy, and yet it doesn’t have nearly the impact that they’re claiming it does (at least domestically). So why is it that tickets sales haven’t been doing well if people still prefer to go to the theater?

Is it the quality, perhaps?
