The $4 Billion record-breaking box office has Hollywood execs a bit nervous at the moment. With a major creative strike gathering momentum in the distance, it's more difficult to garner public sympathy for skyrocketing production costs when receipts are up 6% and attendance has increased nearly 10% over last year. So much for the home theatre crowd forsaking the theatrical experience.

Mon, 3 September 2007 DVD Verdict 070 - Summer Movie Wrap-up As we bid farewell to the Summer of 2007, Judge Bill Gibron and Chief Justice Michael Stailey take a look back at the good, the surprising, and the downright strange films that graced our local multiplex screens over the past four months. The $4 Billion record-breaking box office has Hollywood execs a bit nervous at the moment. With a major creative strike gathering momentum in the distance, it's more difficult to garner public sympathy for skyrocketing production costs when receipts are up 6% and attendance has increased nearly 10% over last year. So much for the home theatre crowd forsaking the theatrical experience.
