Audiences are flocking to movie theaters this holiday season—proof in numbers that an HDTV system at home is still no match for the escape (from the in-laws or incessant bad news—take your pick) provided by a theater. Even though consumers are reportedly cutting back on entertainment during the economic crisis, the box office felt no ill effects this weekend. While holiday and family themed films are typically the biggest draws during the Thanksgiving holiday, this year films of all types succeeded, with Four Christmases, Milk, and Australia taking in big numbers. People might be cutting back, but their love of sweeping epics and badly reviewed rom-coms remains strong enough.
