Computer games represent one of the fastest-growing, most profitable entertainment businesses. Making movies, by contrast, is getting tougher and more expensive, now costing, with marketing fees, an average of $103 million a film.

Holson —Out of Hollywood, Rising Fascination With Video Games (NY Times)
