And sports business consultant mark Gaddis says there is a very simple reason why the weak economy."

" In most cases this is a reflection of the severe recession in particular how would hit a few laden. Industries that have historically been strong drivers mutually baseball attendance."

" get fans back Gaddis is baseball must lower some ticket prices. Offer more seating packages and make the game more interstate but that's not at all."

" Police had an -- that I could use some -- and I thought that counts against actually we're talking about is Hollywood box office. We've mentioned before that. It was really gangbusters spring at the box office everything did really well. This summer things started to go down house an hour heading into the fall. And eventually the holiday movie season so. Analysts are really keeping an eye on the kinds of movies that are being released including. Cloudy with a chance of meatballs that's one of the new ones. Couple weeks from now Disney is going to re release both toy story's original and toy story two. In theaters. -- because I believe it was a twits or three coming up to ten point here to they're doing 3-D double feature right exactly so. Thank you said analysts are hoping that. That some of these movies will help recoup some of the losses at the box office so we can have at least and bit of an up note for the year is that a coincidence that ultimately is there marketed movies it could -- because I have kids of those the ones that picked up about the life. But. One I'm most likely to say. But actually and another interesting point from Los Angeles Times as. If you ever read the twilight series it's about vampires and -- walls brings it down -- about it it -- they had twilight the movie out last year and they that the sequel coming -- called news it's two out right around Thanksgiving. And of course young women teenage girls when there are kind of rabid about these movies. So bandaged -- reporting that. Dozens of showings of new moon. Most of my on the time of its debut November -- have sold out already."

" Already yes really September of people -- I can't days and days and days of words even release. That may be a big driver that this this fall to face trial like -- listening and mean get a grip only in Jackson hello now Tracy I've read the -- areas. Alone getting. A fan of that. -- you know. I mean it. And as of the Serena vampires where girls that their key instances. If certain topping hot topic -- Larry. -- but nothing like it and sorry. -- Iranian more masculine you know movies something that's been the man lies aren't so -- then on scene you know cloudy chance meatballs are -- hunky vampires."

" On the big screen at a country vampires are going to be the big driver. That's you know from a check perspective I don't know guys wanna go. And see those movies are not that would that there are some some other releases coming up. Of the big huge blockbuster wants won't start come out until closer to the holiday season that's -- so this is kind of a in time a year for four Hollywood it a lot times it's other times in years where they may. Hold off on releasing the movie or at least it now because it is it's the only time this are really any stiff competition for them now and I and talked to an analyst box office analyst at a couple weeks ago they said. It EPA thought this was going to be a record. The year for. For an -- at least record summer in Atlanta and how did that happen chance and I think they just really don't know where to go. People. Other -- and I have I've talked of for example say that few people do want escapism. And they do want to be entertainment and movie tickets are expensive even if you get a man man I mean. Eight bucks you're talking about the course a charge for for the move to a big thing of popcorn name. Five for the thing a soda sound it's an expensive proposition if you may be. Watching your budget plan. Well I wish them wish him luck gavel so it happens on writing in twilight."
