Why do they keep talking to this man?
 
"Maybe this is just my esoteric theory, but it could be that people just feel like doing something else than going to the theater," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations. "Maybe they did so much moviegoing last year that they're burned out." (Is this a lousy movie summer?)
 
Earlier this week, Dergarabedian said he couldn't understand the dip in summer movie revenues this summer. And THIS is his theory on the problem?
 
"Maybe they did so much moviegoing last year that they're burned out."?!? Come on Paul, get a clue! The only thing people are burned out on are too many pointless freaking sequels and no damn content to the movies. (The poll on CNN lists "Too many dopey sequels" at 40% of "what's wrong with this summer's movies", followed by high ticket prices at 29% and "too much FX, not enough people" at 21% of the problem).
 
Get a clue, Paul. It's not that hard to figure out what's wrong. You just need to pay attention.
