1995 Finances and Recommendations

Movie Recommendations

This year, the movies that we recommend are: Toy Story; Batman Forever; Apollo 13; Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls; Jumanji; Casper; Se7en; Dangerous Minds; Mr. Holland's Opus; Father of the Bride Part II; Braveheart; Mortal Kombat; Bad Boys; Clueless; Under Siege 2: Dark Territory; The Brady Bunch Movie; Just Cause; To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar; Copycat; Powder; Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home; Major Payne; Friday; Billy Madison; Boys on the Side; Murder in the First; Jury Duty; Hackers; Tank Girl; The Cure; and Mallrats.

For Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home, we again recommend that notices be placed about the plot not being possible in real life since pods are unlikely to accept outsiders. Instead, if you want to support free Orcas, we need to prevent their capture instead.

The total collected by movies (which grossed over $1 million) is $5.258 Billion. Our fees from our services are $52.58 Million.

Recommended TV Shows

ER, Seinfeld, Caroline in the City, Home Improvement, Frasier, Grace Under Fire, Coach, The Nanny, Roseanne, Walker Texas Ranger, 3rd Rock from the Sun, The Drew Carey Show, The X-Files, JAG

Music Recommendations

For music albums for 1996, we recommend: Metallica-Load; Sublime- Sublime; Tupac- All Eyez on Me; Tool- AEnima; KoRn- Life is Peachy; Alice in Chains- MTV Unplugged; and the Rent soundtrack.

We recommend that Metallica release Load and Reload as a 1.5x-priced double CD instead of two separate albums. We will also offer to help Tupac avoid and fake his death in 1996 and enlist him as a lyricist.

The estimated number of units for the best-selling albums for 1996 is 546 million copies at the average cost of $11 per album, which should give us a share of $45.158 million.

Video Game Recommendations

The recommended games for this year are Super NES: Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Mortal Kombat 3, Romancing SaGa 3, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, and Dragon Quest VI; and Sega Genesis: Mortal Kombat 3; Game Boy: Donkey Kong Land and Street Fighter II; Playstation: Twisted Metal and Namco Museum Vol. 1 and for PC: Command & Conquer, Caesar II, and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness. This year, we will make $48 Million from our services to the video game industry.

The income from our forecasts and services for this year is $145.738 Million.
