Most weeks about 5 movies open. That number would mean 18 per week. There hasn't ever been a week where that many movies were opened.The link is to the more accurate number of 307 (including foreign films and re-releases)
Add to that the fact that they didn't produce nearly as many films per year in he 70's and you have a decade long total probably closer to 1000 (of which more than 30 were very good to great)

"Take 2003, the last year for which Motion Picture Association of America statistics are available. Of the 940 movies released that year, only 29 were G-rated."

Looks like the 307 was a little low and the 940 number was quite high...11MPA Worldwide Market Research & Analysis
