... and the population has remained the same since 1939 ...

Don't forget to also factor in:  number of theaters; the difference in
discretionary income; the ease of getting to a theater (where I went to

not a simple Saturday afternoon trek); amount of leisure time; and a
few others I wouldn't mention.
