Trekonomics

Last Saturday night unusual hurdles met my attempt to see a mere movie at the local AMC theater. A staff member was mounting guard at the escalator, which seemed to work in good order. After some puzzlement, I understood that showing my ticket was necessary to obtain passage. Having reached the floor where my ordinary movie was being shown I startled at another first: the line to the IMAX theater was stretching all the way to this lower floor. I then realized such a line must be trekking. Has the economy really turned around if so many people can afford an IMAX ticket, not to mention put up with the crowd affliction? Or is this the climax of the "green shoots" view of the state of the economy?
Perhaps the answer is ... Trekonomics!?
