money do you think the entertainment industry grossed last year???


including sports, movies, restaurants, and vacations, etc??

Somewhere around $1.6 Billion, maybe?

That's hard to say, as movies/TV/theatre aren't technically in the same camp as sporting events restaurants and the travel.

I DO know that the film/TV business takes in between six and eight billion a year, whether they make any movies that make money or not. This point of fact is quickly becoming a point-of-contention between the studios/producers, and practically everybody else who works in the industry, which was seen in the Writer's Guild strike of last year and the impending Actors Guild strike that is set to take place at the end of the month- it would seem that the studios and the producers are quite content with making ALL the money, while screwing everybody else out of their fair share.

I also know that the travel industry has taken a literal nose dive since the events of 9/11 and our recent fuel crisis. Even then, I wouldn't think it would turn in as much money as the film/TV business would.

Can't say about the sports industry or the restaurant trade, though.

I have no clue..but they need to send some of it MY way..i'll be happy to send them addy!

A lot

and then count entertainment equipment sales, concerts...
