I saw even fewer feature films in 2016, but it was a rather busy year for me. My final total was 141, which was 7 fewer than 2015. The big thing I alluded to last year, that may depress this total, was buying a new house. That happened, so it’s possible that may explain the reduced number. Or, perhaps, I’ve settled into a new normal.
There was a Huge uptick in movies in a theatre this year, more than half, though that is goosed up by the shorts packages I saw…
More diversity in the theaters I frequented this year… Some additional local options helped there,
Saw more comedies this year, which feels appropriate, and fewer documentaries, which feels healthier.. :)
The IFFBoston “April” spike turned into a May spike this year as the festival spanned the two months.
