Corliss,Richard."Spend money, to make money."Time Sept.7,2007.62-63.Print.

The article,"Spend money, to make money" is about two movies. The first one is, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and the second one is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. They compared how much Transformers made them, to how much Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince made them.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, cost $200 million to make and earned four times that. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, cost them $150 million to make and the seven grossed at least $350 million worldwide. Hollywood, considers the money well spent.

Before I read the article, I figured it had to do with a movie, because it had a picture of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on the cover. The cover title, makes 100 percent meaning. You must spend money, to make money.

After I read this article I knew a lot of things. First of all, I know that the company that makes the movie gets a lot of money for it. When you go see a movie, at a movie theatre, your money goes to the movie company that made the movie, which in return the money goes to making more movies. I wonder if the movie company gets money when the movie comes out on DVD and is sold in stores. I also know, how much the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen cost to make it, and how much it cost to make the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and that each of the seven Harry Potter movies, made $350 million worldwide!
