Report: Digital Generation Still Likes Moviegoing

Financial Times: The film industry has had to contend with an array of new entertainment options and the growth of new markets such as China. But a new generation of audiences raised on Facebook and Snapchat has shown they are still interested in the cinema experience, according to a report by the Financial Times. The industry is on course to score its strongest box office on record, lifted by a banner year from Universal Studios which released hits such as “Jurassic World” and “Furious 7.” With the new James Bond film, “Spectre,” to come and the long-awaited seventh episode in the “Star Wars” series, North American box-office takings could exceed $11 billion this year and the global total may hit $40 billion.
