CULTURAS IN VITRO
Business booms at US cinemas: A late surge of hit movies has produced a record summer at the United States box office.
Films like Finding Nemo and The Matrix Reloaded helped to overturn early forecasts of a slump in cinema returns.
The summer gross is expected to total $3.9bn (£2.5bn) - up 2% from last summer's previous record figure, according to box office monitor Exhibitor Relations.
