Good link. I didn't want to search for that at work.

Doesn't really back up Reapers claim that it surpasses all those combined.

The annual boxoffice totals are close to 10 billion alone. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/

NFL revenues are around 6 billion, according to forbes.

That is 16 billion right there. Add in NHL, MLB, NBA and DVD sales/rentals, I am sure the number is in the neighbourhood of $20-$30 billion easily.

Still impressive, that is as big as any one of those entities though.
