That’s amazing. From 860 million rolls of film down to 18 million. No wonder Kodak went bankrupt and why Fuji’s been constantly downsizing their film selections.

Crikey I can't believe this sort of rubbish is still going around. The Kodak film division remained in profit up to and beyond the Chapter 11. Kodak was bankrupted by their digital ventures.

Yes and no.
Indeed their digital activities have been for years their main problem burning money and making losses.
But the film devision made losses too in 2013 / 2014. Even so much that Kodak has almost shut down the complete film production. Thas was explained many times this year in several interviews of the new Kodak CEO Jeff Clarke.
Film is currently only about 10% of Eastman Kodak's business.
