Americans deep in the doldrums over lost jobs, homes and investments have seeking refuge in the dark cover of the movie theater and have been losing themselves in the flickering lights of the cinema. Throngs have buttoned up their economic overcoat to the trivial timemachine og Benjamin Button. Hordes have huddled about the cute starving Indian children of Slumdog Millionaire.

A combo sequel is rumoured as all escapist film goers are begging for "Out of Africa and Into the Outback". A certain steakhouse chain and Zmbawean Dictator are bidding over the film rights.
