Warm and cool!! The weather has been decent this past week! For the most part during the day it was nice and not too hot with some really good breezes. At night it has been very cool, I would say in the low 60's which is a good temperature to keep the windows open and be under the covers in bed. Now this is summer weather that I can deal with.Weekly Update:
So a lot of things going on this past week for me. I was offered a job with another studio and on Friday I decided to accept it. Things at the current job were not working or in fact getting worse. Although I love everything about the company but with no sight of changes, I thought it was time for me to move on. Weird, this is the first time I left a company on my own instead of it closing it's doors or downsizing ... this is new for me! So I will remain at the current job for another 3 weeks to wrap some stuff up and then start the new one immediately after.
On Saturday I did get a chance to attend a very small premiere event for the film "Space Chimps" which was ok. Not a great movie but cute and had some fun moments in it. The star turnout was very light and the only one I noticed that was there that I didn't have a picture with before was Andy Samberg who does the voice of the main character and a very cool guy. He is regularly seen on Saturday Night Live currently.
At the movies:
Big red wins the box office crown this week as Hellboy II: The Golden Army earns a nice 35.9 million. It enjoys the one week at the top as the Batman will knock out everyone next week. Holding in at #2 is "Hancock" with an extra 33 mil and well over the 160 mil cume, sure to hit 200 by the end of next weekend. New at #3 is the family adventure Journey to the Center of the Earth 3-D earns 20.6 mil, way more than any of my expectations. Hanging in to #4 is "Wall*E" with 18.5 mil and now over the 160 mil cume as it tries to reach 200. Rounding off the top 5 is "Wanted" with 11.6 mil and breaking the 100 mil cume mark.
New movies that did not make the top 5: We haven't had this for awhile but Eddie Murphy manages to bring it back with Meet Dave earning a disappointing 5.3 mil and sure to be the end of that one.
