VIDEO : 2017 Third Biggest Year For Movies

The numbers are in and 2017 is the third highest grossing year in movies.

Experts and insiders are somewhat divided on what this might mean for the current state and future of movie going. Is the drop a reason for alarm or just part of the natural ebb and flow of business? The basic rule still applies: If the movies are good, audiences will turn out. If they're not, they won't.
