Before the Blackfish takeover, SeaWorld was bringing in a large amount of visitors daily, leading into a large amount of revenue yearly.
Once Blackfish became a world wide known documentary, SeaWorld's economic rates plummeted. The documentary exposed SeaWorld inside-out in much detail. The federal government even took action against SeaWorld to have them shut down their trainer-and-whale interactions in order to protect SeaWorld trainers and audience safety. SeaWorld has encountered pressure to sell tickes to each of their locations. Many entertainment groups dropped from working with SeaWorld, which was a small result of the lack of tickets being sold at their aquariums. Overall, Blackfish was a an effect that effected SeaWorld for the worst yet better. SeaWorld attendance rate dropped 5.2% from mid 2013-2014, and with a profit value declining by 21%. As of November 2014, SeaWorld's overall stock was down by 50% since 2013.
