It’s already been a very good year for Hollywood, up 11.9 percent over last year, and with the incredible opening of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen it looks as though it may be in the running for the best box office year ever.

And when you take into account worldwide grosses, “Transformers” is already second on the list, at $387.3 million.

Of interest is that the number-one grossing movie worldwide didn’t even make the US top ten: Angels & Demons, which has taken in an astounding $461.1 million since its release on May 15.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Harry Potter opens in 2 weeks.

Well, I've seen 3 out of 10 which is very unusual for me. I hardly ever go to the movies. Must be the recession.

[el Gusano]

Yeah. Our economy's so bad that Hollywood's profits are way up.

Saw T4 last night. I'll see Star Trek when it comes out. Saw Wolverine earlier.

I hardly ever go to the theater, but I want to see these three on the medium-sized screen.

Star Trek at the Rave was incredible in DLP.
