Does this answer your question?

"DVD, home video releases and pay-per-view cable channels are closing
in on theatrical runs; home-viewing dwarfs the theater market.
According to Entertainment Weekly, in 2004, Americans spent $24.1
billion on home video rentals, compared with $ 9.2 billion at
theaters."
