video games killing film?

The movie industry whined when Halo3 came out claiming that gaming was the culprit for lower movie turnouts. That must have worried Marvel when they found out Grand Theft Auto 4 was coming out the same week as Iron Man - a franchise with no movie history like Spiderman or X-men. It appears that there are no problems in the film industry when they produce a quality product. Iron Man brought in over $100 million this weekend and with the $400 million GTA4 is expecting to turn in might make for the biggest entertainment weekend ever. Hopefully Hollywood can survive.
