Breaking Dawn Part 2

Opening on November 16th, Breaking Dawn Part 2 seems to be the highest tracking film. It is estimated to make breaking records in the box offices. Already having an advanced ticket sale 16% ahead, this seems to be the highest movie through out all the twilight saga's. Everyone is well aware of this movie and Summit Entertainment is hoping this movie will make more money than Part 1 on the opening week. Nikki Finki, editor of the article, claims that the movie is a huge success due to the "on-again, off-again, now-again real relationship between Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson."

This article is important because it informs the reader of a highly known and high record movie. It discusses the success through out the twilight saga's. I specifically chose this article because I am a Twilight fan and i have seen all the movies. I have been waiting for part 2 and I can not wait to go see it.

As a student, this article impacts me because the movie being discusses has influence me to read the novels.  In the future when if i become a filmmaker this article helps me stay involved in the film industry by informing me about high rating movies. As a consumer, this article keeps me informed on the top box office films.

By reading this article I have developed a few questions: As predicted, will this movie have the highest ratings in the box office? Does Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's real relationship have an impact on this films success? Did Kristen and Robert get back together just as publicity stunt?

Disney/ABC also won an the Best Content Extension Made for Mobile due to their "Mickey Mouse Road Rally Appisode.” 

This article is important because it informs us about different awards that are given out. I honestly never knew about the Mobile Excellence Awards until I read this article. This article caught my eye because I saw the words Disney and ABC which are t.v. channels I use to watch. As a future filmmaker this article has an impact on me because it informed me about the various awards that are given out. As a consumer, I would like to see if any of my films will be able to win an award. Questions I have are: What other types of awards are given? Why don't many people know about this? How long have the Mobile Excellence Awards been going?

Disney vs. Marvel

Walt Disney has been making movies with superheros based on Stan Lee's characters. He wants a $5.5 billion profit from Walt Disney. The defendant claims Walt Disney has copy rights to the characters being used, but seem to be false. Lee is seeking "the maximum statutory damages allowable” along with full control over Iron Man, Spider Man, etc. In the suit, SLMI claims that Stan Lee signed his rights over the comic books that he had created. In  August 2009 Disney bought Marvel for $4 billion. That deal had been confirmed at the end of that year. 

This article is important because it discusses why Stan Lee is suing Walt Disney and it gives facts about the law suit. This article caught my eye because it I love watching Disney movies. It's my childhood. As a student, this article teaches me about law suits. As a future filmmaker, this article informs me what is happening in the industry. As a consumer, this article would influence my decision on investing in a company. Questions I have now are: why is Stan Lee suing Walt Disney now when he signed his rights away? What will be the outcome?

Good Morning America

Good Morning America has been raising their ratings. It has opened the 2012-2013 season as the number one viewed morning news program. The show has a total  of 4.95million viewers. It also has a total of 1.9 million viewers by adults in between the ages of 25-54. By September the show got a total of 5.0 million views.

This article is important because it shows how the rating improved through out the years. I chose this specific article because I sometimes watch this show in the morning when I am getting ready for school. As a student, it teaches that hard work does pay off and to never give up on anything. As a consumer this article gives me feedback on successful shows. If I was a consumer I would like to invest in something that will succeed. Reading this article made me realize that success does no happen right away. You just need to be patient and continue working with what you have. The only question I have is how does it feel to be the No. 1 viewed after all those years?
