LodgeNet also announced that Twentieth Century Fox was the top-performing studio for 2007 based on gross receipts in LodgeNet-served hotel rooms. This was the second year out of the last three that Fox topped the ratings.

"Fox combines a great variety of excellent films with perfectly-timed release dates for travelers throughout the year," said William M. Coleman, Vice President Studio Relations and Film Licensing Worldwide for LodgeNet. "'Walk the Line', which opened in hotels January 15th, was a hit at the box- office and in hotels thanks to Fox's strategy of releasing many of its films in mid-month when guests are looking for some new choices. 'Ice Age' was an ideal film for the whole family that Fox made available to LodgeNet's hospitality clients at the beginning of the summer travel season -- only eight weeks after it premiered in theaters. Likewise, Fox offered the mid-summer hit 'The Devil Wears Prada' to sophisticated hotel audiences in time for the fall travel cycle." Coleman also noted that Fox develops customized promos for its films that appeal to hospitality guests and attract a wider pay-per- view audience.

Dave Smith, Vice President of Pay TV Sales and Channel Operations at Twentieth Century Fox, said, "LodgeNet is a respected partner in Fox's promotional efforts to deliver its most current entertainment to travelers. We value the way LodgeNet creates a win-win for both hotel guests and Fox. We expect 2007 to be another award-winning year in the hospitality industry for Fox."
