Who Needs Four Billion Dollars?
Movie News By Brian C. Gibson on August 30, 2007 | Be the First To Comment
For some people, to have enough money just isn’t enough. They always need more. Hollywood is no exception. Way back in 2004, before we could check our MySpace on our iPhones, the summer blockbuster season set an all time high. Hollywood pulled in a cool $4.009 billion. Now to some people four billion may be enough, but I need to pay my iPhone bill and Hollywood needs to pay for Dragon Wars. You may ask why i am picking on Dragon Wars, but let me tell you, I just saw the trailer and you should too. It is the perfect example of $20 million spent in all the wrong ways.
Gregg Kilday over at the Hollywood Reporter is reporting that this 2007 summer season has now raked in an estimated $4.11 billion. Not hard to imagine considering:
Spider-Man 3 ($365.5 million)
Shrek the Third ($321 million)
Transformers ($308.7 million)
Pirates of The Carribean: At World’s End ($308.1 million)
There have been nineteen films this year to crack $100 million, and don’t you worry folks Dragon Wars is sure to not be far behind after opening weekend. So I guess the moral of the story is go see Superbad, and all will be right with the world.
