...country, but lately it has found itself stumbling. President Obama has slammed it for "completely false" ads against his proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency, and the White House has increased its efforts to seek out CEOs directly and marginalize the Chamber. Major Fortune 500 players Nike, Apple, Exelon and PG & E, recently quit the organization (or its board) because of its "extreme rhetoric and obstructionist tactics" on global warming, as Nike put it in a letter.

As Nikki Finke notes on her Deadline Hollywood Daily blog: "HP6 with a PG rating is selling more discounted kiddie tickets. And it had virtually no biz from higher priced IMAX theaters: just 3 venues compared to TF2's 169." Not that the moneymen care about the number of tickets sold.
