The unemployment rate has skyrocketed and is staying around 14.9 million, but with this in mind; how come box office records keep breaking? If you seen the chart and the statistics above you can notice its incline but the most recent statement does show that in feb. 2010 the unemployment rate did reach 9.7% which is around 14.9 million of the population is unemployed. Now just last weekend Alice in wonderland (AIW) beat avatar which was the highest grossing movie on its opening weekend at 55 million. AIW did 80 million this weekend. Which ceases to amaze me that even in the most horrendous economic times a movie can make ridiculous amounts of money.
