The number of people who buy tickets to sit in theater to watch movies is not a good measure of people's interest in watching movies or the success of the medium. Most people are streaming films and while streaming services continue to suck at very basic things you'd expect from a media player they're still very popular.

They did say "cinema" all the way up this comment chain, not "movies". They're not the same thing and it does refer to sitting in theaters.
