Nobody reports on the movie business with greater savvy or a sharper eye than Anne Thompson.

(Leonard Maltin, author of Leonard Maltin's 151 Best Movies You've Never Seen)
The $11 Billion Year combines insight, intelligence, and irony. Whether Anne Thompson explains the growing importance of film festivals like Telluride, or dissects how a marketing strategy worked, she gives us ‘2012: A Movie Odyssey.’ (Annette Insdorf, Director of Undergraduate Film Studies, Columbia University)
I loved it! The $11 Billion Year is both a wonderful read and an informative one. Not always the same. Anyone who is interested in movies, business, or American culture should read this book.
