							  The Gross: The Hits, the Flops: The Summer That Ate
               Hollywood (Unabridged)
When movies cost hundreds of millions to make and market, the magnitude of the
wagers is astonishing. Vast riches rain down on those who gamble wisely, and
careers are made and lost in one weekend. But never is this box-office race more
feverish than during the summer blockbuster season, when the studios roll out their
most expensive, effects-laden pictures in a feverish race to win the box-office
derby.Peter Bart, editor-in-chief of Variety, brings us a marvelously entertaining
behind-the-scenes portrait of moviemaking, spotlighting the summer of 1998. He
takes us through the entire cycle of would-be summer blockbusters, from script
through casting and production and finally into release. Interviewing dozens of the
most powerful names in Hollywood, Bart gives an in-depth account of why some
succeeded and others failed.
