  Late October to December was the seost busy time for Hollywood. If the summer season was the best schedule to release big movies, then November and December were usually the sed choibsp;

  However, it didn't mean that the movies released these months were mediocre. No matter eople say, it is true that Hollywood produces the best movies all around the year.

  In November, seven movies surpassed 100 million, showing that this month rofitable schedule to release movies.

  The number one spot this month was naturally taken by The Matrix Revolutions, which at the end of the month, grossed more than 133 million. Many expect that this movie will surpass 400 million, at least.

  With the right decision that Warner Brothers did to recoup possible losses, the Matrix trilogy made money.

  Other movies were also released this month such as Elf, starring Will Ferrell. Love Actually, starring Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, and Keira Knightley.

  Overall, the results of movies released in November were within the expectations. The cost of movie tickets went up to 7 dolrs, pared to 5 dolrs a few years ago. This amount was still acceptable and the number of people who watched movies iers just kept increasing. Added the fact that theaters were also increasing.

  This year, a 3D theater first sed James Cameron's dotary of Titanic. A tour of the ship's wreckage. James also used this teology to improve his uping project which was Avatar.

  There was also hat IMAX's teology would open its door to Hollywood.

  The history of ema was gettier sihe teology was evolving.

  Knowing the future it brought, Kazir tacted 3D and IMAX regarding a possible colboration. 20th tury Fox was also ied in participating in this endeavor, but their stance was normal.

  Hollywood still doesn't uand the power of 3D and IMAX teology.

  Even though movies were the main theme of Hollywood, TV Shows and other programs meant for Television were also striving. Hollywood and Showbiz were two words that would always be together.

  Showbiz, or to be precise, Show business perfectly describes the eai industry. At the end of the day, the eai industry was blossoming because it produced huge profits.

  If movies rely more on tickets, DVDs, and broadcast rights to make mohen TV Shows were mostly depe on advertisement and broadcast rights, especially if it was on a free el.

  30-sed Ads could cost 100 thousand on a televisiowork. This was just the minimum, if the ercial was aired in prime time schedule(8 pm to 10 pm), this amount could be doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.

  Let's not fet that a Superbowl Ad ore than 2 million as of 2003. ABC got the broadcasting rights this year and they were making money out of it.

  These were just the free work els.

  As for subscription basis/services such as flix, HBO, and Cables, the TV Shows would get money from subscription fees and ercials, of course.

  This month, Fox TV announced a V Show and the work clearly put importan this project because the work romoting it almost every hour.

  This shoroduced by Grey Pictures, a studio that getting reized more by each day. Also, Fox TV promoted that the first five episodes of this TV Show were directed by the famous director Kazir Grey.

  Billboards of Game Of Thrones were almost everywhere. Despite having a cuse that Game Of Thrones would have two pilot episodes, it seemed that Fox TV was fident that the show wouldn't be axed... For at least a season.

  Gail Berman, the current president of FOX/Fox Broadcasting pany, already watched the first five episodes and the guy was intrigued. The president was fident that the show would do well in their work.

  Even Tom Rothman watched the show and he didn't have anything bad to say. He also read the script for season one so he decided to trust Grey Pictures regarding their first step in making TV shows.

  After maings and suggestions, FOX agreed to give the best time slot fame Of Thrones, which was 9 PM Friday.

  Fox TV was still a new work pared to ABd CBS so the ma was more direct. Both Tom Rothman and Gail Berman agreed to give this time slot to Game Of Throo test the water.
