the above post can still be answered as i found the top 10 money makers on imdb.com

but does anyone know any good sites which have information on films marketing ideas? tv spots etc

Your questions are a bit too subjective. What is a "Hollywood" film, for example? What criteria do we use to define "blockbuster"?

sorry about that

hollywood film - a film made in hollywood which is just a run of the mill normal studio film e.g One fine day

blockbuster - a film which has a large amount of money put into it (e.g ID4, star wars, )

Just curious...

Why are you looking for this info?

Statistical reasons?

Anyway I heard somewhere that the average cost is about 83-85 million to make and market a movie in the american market.

hope that helps
