Memorial Day EditionToday is Memorial Day but it seems to have also become Barbecue Day in the US. I must admit, BBQ is the best way to celebrate many of these kind of days/events but I hope no one loses sight of that the day actually means, the ability to BBQ in privacy and freedom and hopefully get what you want when you BBQ. Many often lose sight of why we observe this day and the meaning behind. This day is for mostly the fallen who sacrificed their lives in service of our country. Veteran's Day and 4th of July are very different but also the same in that we pay homage to those who served. I just hope not too many lose sight of this and give some kind of thanks whether it be public or private but simply acknowledge it.
Weekly Update:Everything is a little late this week simply due to two things 1) the Holiday day and 2) waiting for final numbers for the box office for the next section. Have to wait to get more accurate information. I had some preliminary numbers early Sunday but the difference could be pretty substantial, wanted to wait at least a little bit and figure as long as it gets out on Monday at some point, it is all good. But aside from that, the week was pretty quiet again and ... also boring. I need to get some work going again or I will drive myself a little nutty nutty!
At the movies:No surprise at the box office as X-Men: Days of Future Past takes the crown with a hefty holiday weekend gross of 110.6 million! Word-of-mouth is good on the film so should easily climb to a potential 250 mil cume. Big drop to #2 is "Godzilla" with another 38.4 mil as it reaches 150 mil cume. New at #3 is the comedy Blended with 17.7 mil for the Memorial Day weekend, below expectations. Holding ground at #4 is "Neighbors" with another 17.1 mil as it passes the 100 mil mark. Rounding off the top 5 is "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" earning another 10 mil as it slowly climbs to try and reach the 200 mil cume mark but just may fall short.
