It's more likely that producers, seeing the stratospheric grosses for Avatar and Alice and the quadrupling of screens able to show films in any format, will go where the money...

It’s a scenic but shaded path, with some history to complement a leisurely trip that’s accessible for casual cyclists. To avoid city biking, start the trail at the Alewife...
...Still, many analysts believe the sector has stabilized enough to continue rebounding on its own, albeit at a painfully slow pace. "It's not going to look like a V-shaped recovery in the housing market. It's going to be one flat, long hockey stick, with anemic growth," says Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American CoreLogic...
