It’s that time of year in movies. No, not Halloween horror season, the pre-Christmas dumping ground, or the mid-Diwali Bollywood rush, — it’s the end of Q3! I’m sure you have blissful sepia-toned memories of gathering around the TV with the family on chilly autumn nights, running down the best of the movies released on home video between the months of July and September, such that their commensurate cost/profit analysis could be calculated within that fiscal period, in accordance with federal regulatory laws.

Me too! And no doubt, so do our coffers, as they really enthusiastically insisted that we come up with a list of the best Third Quarter titles. So pull out your scrapbook and get ready to wax nostalgic about the best accounting reference period since the last one.
