"MOTION PICTURES TODAY. The American motion-picture industry struggled desperately for economic survival during the late 1960's and early 1970's. About 80 percent of all films produced lost money. Nearly every studio was in serious financial trouble, and unemployment in movie craft unions in Hollywood reached from 50 to 80 percent.
A few motion pictures, however, made large profits during the 1970's and early 1980's....Most of these films were aimed at the increasingly important youth market." --The World Book Enyclopedia. 1983. M-"Motion Picture" pg. 718L.
