More Than Half of Americans Saw a Movie in Theaters in 2025, Pew Finds

A Pew Research Center survey from 2025 shows 53% of U.S. adults saw a movie in theaters in the prior year, with 7% never visiting a theater; attendance varies by age, income, race and political affiliation, with younger and higher-income groups more likely to attend. Box-office indicators show a partial recovery: about 769 million tickets sold in the U.S./Canada in 2025 (less than half the 2002 peak of 1.6 billion) and just over $9 billion in ticket revenue, still about 20% below pre-pandemic levels; a separate August 2025 study found 77% of Americans aged 12–74 went to at least one theater movie in the past year.

CEOs See Little Productivity Gain as AI Adoption Climbs

An NBER survey highlighted by Fortune finds about 90% of CEOs and other top executives in the US, UK, Germany, and Australia say AI has not boosted productivity or employment, even as roughly 70% of firms are using AI; individual executives report only about 1.5 hours of AI use per week. Other studies show mixed ROI, with MIT-style research noting little revenue growth from AI and concerns about burnout and lower-quality work, even as adoption rose from 61% to 71% between early 2025 and early 2026 and executives forecast small productivity gains (about 1.4%) and a modest output rise (0.8%) with a slight employment decline over three years.

A Health Survey for England shows 24% of adults did not drink alcohol in 2024 (up from 19% in 2022), with women more likely to abstain (26% vs 22% for men) and notable regional variation (West Midlands 27%, London 26%, northeast 17%).
