Follow these links to important screenwriting sites on the web for information about the Writers Guild of America, box
office results, film and television credits, the Hollywood trades, screenwriting software and more.
The WGA (consisting of East and West branches) represents screenwriters working in Hollywood and offers a wealth of helpful
information to members as well as aspiring nonmembers.
This invaluable site provides film and television credits for writers, actors, directors, producers and many others.
Look up a movie or television series to see who worked on it, or look up a producer before you meet to see what she's produced.
Box Office Numbers
Continuously updated domestic and international box office rsults for films in release, plus tons of extras, like a list
of all-time top grossers, the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time (The Passion of the Christ), the highest-grossing
subtitled film (ditto), and on and on.
Another extremely useful source of box office information. See a list of the top 100 grossing films of
all time, both in actual dollars and adjusted for inflation.
