At the movies:A little surprise at the box office as "Lee Daniel's The Butler" claims the box office crown for the 2nd week in a row. This drama earns a nice 17 mil and has reached 52 mil cume not to mention the award season buzz it will get. Holding ground at #2 is "We're the Millers" with 13.5 mil as it is not just shy of 100 mil cume. New at #3 is the teenage drama Mortal Instruments: City of Bones earns a disappointing 9.3 mil. Also new at #4 is the third Cornetto sequel The World's End with 8.9 mil. Holding on to 5th place is "Planes" with an extra 8.6 mil as it pushes its way to hopefully 80 mil cume.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week didn't crack the top 5. In at #7 is the thriller You're Next with only 7 mil but considering how all the films did this week, that isn't too far off from the rest.

Other News:
Ten bizarre things you can get form a vending machine ... let's see, shall we! 10) Doggy Bath - the Dog-O-Matic machine offers a full doggy wash for about 25 Euros and takes about 30 mins apparently. #9) Quick Wedding - this seems very possible since Vegas is know for this anyway but why not through a machine now. #8) Live lobster - Lobster Zone, cost about $10 per lobster and operates like a claw game machine! #7) Bike parts - this makes a lot of sense in areas where bikes are the main mode of transportation or universities/schools in general. #6) Hot pizza - I've seen this vending machine before ... along with hot dogs and other foods. #5) A hairdo - This is new and I can see this for a pretty basic style or two but I wouldn't use something like this ... although its for a do and not a cut. #4) Gold bars - Someone told me about this but have yet to see it. #3) Baby goods - why not if we can have toys and foods. Even more sense for these in points of transportation nodes like airports for something you may have forgotten while traveling. #2) Books on demand - Just like toys and such, I can totally see this. Problem is keeping it stocked with current or popular titles. #1) Swapped things (pictured) - The Swap-O-Matic ... you bring unused, slightly used items to donate and it gives points which can be used towards other things ... interesting.
Facts & Tips:Greyhounds can reach speeds of 45 miles per hour.
