Theater Revenue
2004 THEATER REVENUE BY MONTH

Theater revenues totaled $49.5 million in 2004, an increase of three percent over the previous year. The decrease in August can be attributed to early school opening dates in Pigeon Forge’s top visiting markets. While overall visitation and revenues increased during July, the theater category experienced a one percent decrease.
