Yes, they are record years, but they are having to release twice as many movies as they did just 5 years ago to make the same amount of money. Isn't that the same complaint we are hearing in this industry? Almost every day you see posts where people talk about how they are working twice as hard, just to make the same amount of money or less than they did just a few years ago.

We already know 08/09 had the biggest box office records in history, single days, weekends, weeks and months, with the longest running ever too. One weekend after another, for 2 years.
How do they have the biggest 'ever' and yet, still have to release double the movies?
Simply... you re-release movies.... yep, those numbers include remakes, redo's, making movies digital and releasing them again.. Not really "new" movies, but "released" movies. Shit people don't want to buy, MGM......
