The new labels to explain our services, and we will give a sample for this year:
TriStar Pictures originally grossed $182 million and is projected to increase to $227 million.
Cinecom Pictures originally grossed $4 million and is projected to increase to $6 million.
With the increasing trust in our company, our casting and staffing recommendation services are being used even more. The film industry originally grossed $4.133 billion, and we project that it will gross at least $5.166 billion.
The profits for this year from movies are $28.11 million. From the previous year's recommendations for music, we also made $24.32 million. The total revenue would be $52.43 Million, and the tax rate for 1984 is still 46%, so we will be charged $24.1178 Million. The remaining profit is $28.3122 Million, so Ms. Lee will make over 2.83122 Million for her fee. This leaves $25.48098 million to use for this year.
Recommended TV Shows
Snipe Bill Cosby's show for another black comedian to star in instead. The remaining cast could carry their weight even if the replacement isn't as good at comedy.
Family Ties, Cheers, Who's the Boss?, and Night Court.
Music Recommendations
For next year's album sales, we will offer free services in exchange for thanks from:
Elektra: The Doors
Columbia/CBS Records: USA for Africa
Epic/Legacy: Stevie Ray Vaughan
The estimated number of units for the remaining best-selling albums for 1985 is 356 million at the average cost of $9 per album, which should give us a share of $24 million.
We will request that thanks be given in the credit in exchange for our forecast of the games (over the next 40 years, primarily sold in the next year. We are only listing the games we consider the best this year.
Video Game Recommendations
