10 things to look forward to at the movies in 2014

New York -  Hollywood may be hoping for a little less drama in 2014.

2013 was a tale of two cinemas. Blockbusters like The Lone Ranger and After Earth flopped spectacularly while many in the industry (including Steven Spielberg) bemoaned the increasingly commercial trajectory of the studios. And yet by the end of the year, Hollywood had set a record with nearly $11 billion in revenue, while critics hailed the year's crop as one of the best in years.

How will 2014 unfold? The plot, at least, will be unchanged, with Hollywood moving to the familiar pattern of sketchy spring releases, summer superhero blockbusters and fall awards-contenders.
