Halo Blamed For Bad Movie Ticket Sales

Hollywood studio execs are BLAMING HALO 3, the Microsoft Xbox 360 game, for dismal box office receipts since the game was released September 26. For example, movie ticket sales for the October 5 weekend were down 27% below the same weekend last year. Meanwhile, Halo 3 gamers logged some 40 million hours of play during the first week alone.

I say this is totally ridiculous, I can’t see this stopping people from seeing movies.
