[0:01] >> Entertainment Tonight moving to 7
[0:03] beginning August 31st.
[0:08] >> Oh, I think we're all a product of the
[0:09] recession. I think we're all, you know,
[0:11] but I do. However, I also think all
[0:13] movies shouldn't cost the same to go
[0:14] see.
[0:15] >> Is Hollywood in trouble at the box
[0:17] office? Stars and movie goers react to a
[0:19] summer of blockbusters that have gone
[0:21] bust. Entertainment Tonight has the
[0:23] story for you this fourth weekend in

[1:28] but I do. However, I also think all
[1:30] movies shouldn't cost the same to go
[1:31] see.
[1:33] >> None of the summer's slew of sequels,
[1:35] including Alien 3, Lethal Weapon 3,
