American audiences have been drawn to the silver screen no matter what the country’s current economic climate uis. In the Great Depression, it was “Casablanca.” Today, it’s Harry Potter. This summer’s movie box office ticket sales are currently up 4.48 percent and attendance is up 2.27 percent, according to Hollywood.com. Box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian, 태안출장샵 of Hollywood.com, said on “The Early Show” the main factors that keep audiences in the seats is quality and a following — both of which are “recession-proof” commodities. “If the movies are good, people will go,” he said. “People fixate on the price of the movie when they don’t like the movie. If you have a great time and enjoy that experience, you come out of there and don’t say, ‘I just paid $14 for that, I can’t believe it, I’m not going back.’ If you have a great experience, you don’t think about the price. It’s like a great meal. If you go to a restaurant and spend a lot of money and have a great meal and wonderful experience, you don’t care what you paid. You only care when you had a bad experience, and that’s why Hollywood has to deliver on every movie — otherwise you could lose the audience.” Dergarabedian added films like those in the Harry Potter series will always do well because people love the books so...

The attack in the heart of the port city underscored al Qaeda’s ability to launch deadly strikes despite a two-month Yemeni military offensive backed by the U.S. that earlier this year dislodged militants who had taken over a string of southern towns near Aden. Militants attacked the intelligence building from two sides, firing automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, according to intelligence officials in the city and witnesses from the adjacent state TV and radio building. The assault left 11 soldiers and three intelligence officers dead, and six people wounded, the officials said. They and the witnesses, who are government employees, spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press. Al Qaeda-linked militants took advantage of political turmoil in Yemen to overrun several major towns in Abyan province, neighboring Aden. They held many of them months until the military drove them out of most areas in May, including the Abyan provincial capital of Zinjibar and the nearby town of Jaar. More than 100,000 people fled the violence there, with many taking refuge in makeshift shelters and schools in Aden. Many of the militants escaped into nearby mountains, however, and have continued to...

(CBS/AP) BEIRUT – Syrian rebels claim to have shot down a warplane and captured its pilot Monday — a rare but significant event, if proven true, 의령출장안마 for the lightly armed fighters that would show their increasing ability to combat air attacks from President Bashar Assad’s forces. The Syrian government denies the rebels’ claim, saying the warplane experienced malfunctions and the pilot was forced to eject. Earlier Monday, activists released a video which they said shows a government Soviet-made MiG warplane catching fire after it apparently was hit by ground fire over Deir el-Zour province.
