Movie: Ted
Summary: Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane brings his boundary-pushing brand of humor to the big screen for the first time as writer, director and voice star of Ted.  In the live action/CG-animated comedy, he tells the story of John Bennett(Mark Wahlberg), a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear who came to life as the result of a childhood wish, and has refused to leave his side ever since.
Grosses: This movie made  $469 million.
-I think this movie will be high on sales, but low on rents because everyone that saw this movie seemed to love it.



Movie: Gayby
Summary: This movie is about a gay man and a straight woman in their 30s that have been friends since college, and they decide to have a baby together,  The thing is that the woman wants to do it the old-fashioned way.  The man, is easily persuaded.  But after setting up that proviso and providing the requisite awkward sex scene, the movie drops the idea and moves on to oddly weird sexual things.  The movie also shows the gay date nights between them.

Grosses: This movie's world wide gross is $11,558 million.

- This movie seems super dumb, so I think it will be high no rents but low on sales.



Movie: Dreams of a Life
Summary: This movie is about how nobody noticed when 38-year-old Joyce Vincent died in her bedsit above a shopping mall in North London in 2003.  When her skeleton was discovered three years later, her television was still on.  Newspaper reports offered few details of Joyce's life, not even a picture.  This movie tells the story of who Joyce Vincent was, and how this could happen to someone in our day and age.  This movie is Carol Morley's journey to discover who Joyce was and how she came to be so forgotten.
Grosses: This movie's gross is $6.6K.
- I think this movie will be high on sales, but low on rents because this movie seems really interesting, and this summary really wants to make you know what happened to Joyce Vincent.


Movie: Why Stop Now?

Grosses: This movie's gross is $1.6K.
-I think this movie has amazing comedic actors, but I don't think the movie will be that good, so I think this movie will be high on rents, but low on sales.

Movie: Mansome
Summary: Executive Producers Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Ben Silverman bring us a hilarious look at men's identity in the 21st century.  Models, actors, experts, and comedians weigh in on what it is to be a man in a world where the definition of masculinity has become as diverse as a hipster's facial hair in Williamsburg.  This funny movie of men's idiosyncratic grooming habits are thoroughly combed over as men finally take a long hard look in the mirror.
Grosses: This movie's gross is $18.4K.
- This movie seems like a funny movie, but I think it will still be high on rents, and now on sales because this movie doesn't seem like a "great" movie people would buy.
