10. Conclusions
• The hypothesis was proven correct among the white, upper class,
older demographic. Unfortunately, there was not enough data
from other groups to draw conclusions about their behavior.
• If the subscription plan provides value and discounts on
concessions, it becomes a much more popular option than what
exists in the market currently
• The data provides confirmation that subscription holders would be
interested in a family plan that scales up in price.
• While streaming is in a current trend of growth, theaters are still
the preferred way to view movies.
