Motion Pictures Come In Ahead of 2012

      Hollywood - The major studios in Hollywood slightly increased their profit over 2012, however it was enough to put them in the record books as 2013 being the highest grossing year of all time.  "Iron Man 3" (Disney's Marvel division) was the top-grossing film of the year, coming in ahead of  "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" (Lionsgate) and "Despicable Me 2" (Lionsgate).  Higher ticket prices are attributable to this increase in revenue as are Imax and 3D theatres.  See also, www.hollywoodreporter.com.
