1988 Finances and Recommendations

Movie Recommendations

This year, the movies that we recommend are: Rain Man, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Die Hard, The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, Cocktail, Beetlejuice, Willow, The Land Before Time, Short Circuit 2, and Mac and Me.

The total collected by movies (which grossed over $1 million) is $3.442 Billion. Our fees from our services are $34.42 Million.

Recommended TV Shows

Roseanne, A Different World, Cheers, The Golden Girls, Who's the Boss?, Empty Nest, Matlock, Growing Pains, ALF, Unsolved Mysteries, In the Heat of the Night, Night Court, The Wonder Years, Full House

Music Recommendations

We will advise Interscope to sign Nine Inch Nails and push for producing credits on the Broken EP in 1992 to make sure it still is as harsh as the original. We will advise Geffen Records to sign Nirvana earlier as well. To prevent Stevie Ray's death, we must push the FAA to audit helicopter use in 1990 and enforce visibility standards.

This is a weak year for music albums for 1989, so we can only recommend: Michael Bolton-Soul Provider, Nine Inch Nails-Pretty Hate Machine, Nirvana-Bleach, Stevie Ray Vaughan-In Step, 101-Depeche Mode.

The estimated number of units for the remaining best-selling albums for 1988 is 351 million at the average cost of $9 per album, which should give us a share of $23.75 million.

Video Game Recommendations

The recommended games for this year are: Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3. For PC, we recommend Tetris. This year, we will make $42 Million from our services to the video game industry.

i still won't follow the sports results. i will just send the recommendations for the drafts.
