You knew the Harry Potter series was a massive worldwide box office smash; but now we have a rough idea of how big it really is. Reuters is reporting that thanks to the recent success of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, the Harry Potter series has earned more than $7 billion dollars over eight wildly successful films based on the novels by J.K Rowling.
Hollywood's revival of The Lone Ranger just became even more star studded.

NBC is going geek. The network will head to Comic-Con in San Diego and while it's not unprecedented for the network to attend what is now as much an industry event as it is a fan event, the network's rollout is notable. NBC will bring to Comic-Con several of their new fall series as well as fan favorites Community and Chuck for panel discussions.
Glee creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk are gearing up for American Horror Story at FX. Deadline reports that the series could be ready for a Halloween premiere. The pilot for American Horror Story was ordered even before casting had begun, back in February 2011.

Fox's Fringe ended on a stunner of a cliffhanger last Spring with Peter (Joshua Jackson) seemingly blinked out of existence. When the cult sci-fi series returns in the fall, the central mystery to begin the season will be "Where is Peter Bishop?"
Films based on video games rarely succeed. In fact, most of them are laughably bad. The most recent one is Tekken, a film based on Namco's fighting game of the same name. While it doesn't offer much in the area of story or character development, it does deliver some fast paced and extremely well choreographed fight scenes. It's also nowhere near as bad as any of the Street Fighter films.
