Sourav & Ren:

you can find global figures about these industries in the latest 
WIRED magazine (Nov 2000-issue, page 122) - I just pick those 
industry branches which are related to entertainment in the 
wider sense:

Alcohol       $ 97 Billion
Tobaco        $ 56 Billion
Wireless      $ 40 Billion
Books         $ 24 Billion
Music         $ 15 Billion
Videogames    $  6 Billion
Movies        $  2 Billion

(I have not checked any of these numbers - they might be open
to some discussion).

Hope this resolves the issue to some extent.
