One can't ignore the changing of times...
God bless your ignorance.
Those old times were infect more difficult for a film to organically gather so much of a business due to much lesser screens, a film needed to earn for so many months (least was silver jubilee for 6 months, then golden jubilee for one year, platinum jubilee for 1.5 years and so on) or sometimes for years in Cinemas in order to get those crazy huge net numbers at the boxoffice, a film those days needed a long long time and a very long sustainability in theaters to achieve hit status and boxoffice numbers, not like today's times when the initial hype and crazy promotions on so many media platforms and on so many mediums helps the film alot to milk everything in the initial 4 to 5 weeks on thousands of screens and then they are out of theaters after a month.
Also cinema going public who only enjoys watching movies on the big silver screen with the live audience are not affected as such by the invention of TV and now by the small screen of mobile phones.
Biggest example is gadar 2 that was out on YouTube in it's 2nd day of release but the cinegoers only preferred to watch it in Cinemas so much so that there were capacity issues inside the halls.
