Lucas and Moore wrote the script after executive producer Chris Bender's friend disappeared and had a large bill after being sent to a strip club. After Lucas and Moore sold it to the studio for $2 million, Phillips and Jeremy Garelick rewrote the script to include a tiger as well as a subplot involving a baby and a police cruiser, and also including boxer Mike Tyson. Filming took place in Nevada for 15 days, and during filming, the three main actors (Cooper, Helms, and Galifianakis) formed a real friendship.
Cameron chose Ubisoft Montreal to create an Avatar game for the film in 2007. The filmmakers and game developers collaborated heavily, and Cameron decided to include some of Ubisoft's vehicle and creature designs in the film.[150] Avatar: The Game was released on December 1, 2009,[151] for most home video game consoles (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS, iPhone) and Microsoft Windows, and December 8 for PlayStation Portable.

2009-10 Panini Basketball is one of their most basic releases of the season. Curry is featured on three different cards in the base set, all of which are among his most affordable rookie cards.
We have already examined the best and worst films of 2009; now it is time to look at exactly who was responsible for those films. In this, our very first Movie Studio Report Card, we evaluate both the box office performance and film quality performance of the six major studios (and many indie distributors) as we determine the best and worst studios of 2009.
The short answer to that question is "all of them": 2009 was a record-setting year at the box office, with the studios combining to gross over $10 billion domestically for the first time in history. Their combined overseas take also established a record -- for the third straight year -- with approximately $10.7 billion in receipts. The studios also sold nearly 100 million additional tickets versus their total in 2008, posting their highest total in admissions since 2004. So much for the bad economy.
Of course, while a rising tide lifts all boats, it apparently lifts some of them higher than others. As the chart below indicates, one studio (Warner Bros.) dominated the domestic box office, while several others also put together great overall years. We'll talk about each studio in greater detail in a moment, but note that -- since this is a report card, after all -- we have assigned letter grades to each major studio, assessing them on their box office performance in 2009 in comparison to their peers.
Foreign film specialists Zeitgeist Films and Sony's specialty unit Sony Pictures Classics take our top honors for highest overall film quality in 2009, as the pair combined to release 29 films without a poorly-reviewed title among them, while also compiling average Metascores exceeding 70 out of 100. A third studio, Focus Features, also avoided bad reviews last year, but didn't average as high a score as the other two distributors. Sony Classics also tied for the lead in the number of "great" releases (films with a Metascore of 81 or higher) in 2009 with a total of five, which was matched by indie distributor IFC Films.
Below, we examine the overall quality of films released by studios issuing at least 7 titles in 2009, ranked in order from best to worst. As we did with the box office performance, we have assigned letter grades to the studios to represent the quality of their films in comparison with their peers.
Let's look more closely at how each studio fared during 2009. Over the next pages, we'll take a detailed look at the quality and performance of each major studio, followed by a briefer look at the biggest independent distributors.
A majority of the public sees societal benefit from government investment in science and engineering research. Roughly seven-in-ten adults say that government investment in engineering and technology (72%) as well as basic science research (71%) pays off in the long run while a minority says such spending is not worth it (22% and 24%, respectively). Positive views about the value of government investment in each area is about the same as in 2009, though negative views that such spending is not worth it have ticked up 5 points for engineering and technology research and 6 points for basic science research.
Some 59% of AAAS scientists say this is a good or very good time to begin a career in their specialty, down from 67% in 2009. Assessments about the state of their specialty for new entrants is about the same as 2009 for those focused on applied research (71% in 2009 and 69% today say it a good or very good time), but it is down 15 percentage points among those doing basic research, from 63% in 2009 to 48% today saying this is a good or very good time to begin a career in their specialty area.
Mr. Weasley is befuddled by the Oyster card readers at Westminster Underground Station when he and Harry exit the Tube in The Order of the Phoenix (2007). The Half-Blood Prince (2009) kicks off with Muggles inside City Hall noticing a darkening sky, shortly before an attack by Death Eaters causes the Millennium Bridge to collapse into the Thames. In the first Deathly Hallows (2010), Harry, Ron, and Hermione nearly get hit by a bus while rushing through bustling Piccadilly Circus. The real government offices of Whitehall serve as exteriors for the Ministry of Magic (alas, the magical phone box shown on Scotland Place was brought in just for filming).
The Millennium Bridge collapses into the Thames in the dramatic finale to The Half-Blood Prince (2009). In the first Deathly Hallows (2010), Harry, Ron, and Hermione fight off disguised Death Eaters in a Muggle café filmed in bustling Piccadilly Circus. The real government offices of Whitehall serve as exteriors for the Ministry of Magic for the later movies.
