...Hollywood, 2008 was a very good summer for men who fly, women who bond and pandas who roundhouse kick. And it wasn't a bad summer for the overall domestic box office, which will total roughly the same as last year - about $4 billion - with higher ticket prices balancing a slight drop in attendance. For a season that lacked the bait of 2007's array of sequels, it's a decent enough haul. But one brooding hero is carrying a disproportionate burden on his muscular shoulders...
