The Week (6/11-6/15) By the Numbers

70: The percentage of the digital-music market that Apple controls, which is one of the reasons why many Hollywood studios are concerned about letting them get into the newer movie download biz with their iTunes and Apple TV (Monday).

9: The number of Hollywood movies out this summer which offer toy related items. Expect Paramount/DW's Transformers to be the big winner in this arena (Tuesday).

850,000: The amount of money Steven Spielberg helped raise for Hillary Clinton at a recent party at News Corp.'s Peter Chernin's house. The director announced this week that he would be supporting Clinton's bid for the White House (Wednesday).

4,000,000,000: The amount of money (give or take) that NBC/Uni expects to book in advance advertising commitments for the 2007-2008 season across all its media properties (Thursday).

57: The spot Forbes put Will Smith on their "Celebrity 100" list, vastly underestimating his power and appeal as an international movie star (Friday).
