The totals from 1946 on are presumed to be from every type of exhibition, including re¬ ceipts from rentals to drive-ins. The DBS figures show that at the end of 1961 there were 1,371 regular theatres. Year-by-year 16 mm. and TV rentals are to be found under "16 Millimetre” in this book. To determine the rentals from 35 mm. only, the 16 mm. and TV totals should be subtracted from the figures in the above table. For 1961 the 16 mm. rentals amounted to $2,006,190 and TV rentals to $11,209,852, for a total of $13,216,042, and when this is subtracted from the overall take of $34,420,773 that year it leaves the 35 mm. rental figure at $21,204,731.
