POST Thanksgiving and Black Friday Edition

It felt like Winter!  The weather was cold and had that nice crispness to it and you could see your breath as you breathe ... aw Winter, where have you been?  Now if we just had some rain then it would have been perfect but I will take the beat-the-heat any day!  I hope this is an early indication of what our season will be like because last year just sucked.  It was literal Summer weather and stayed in the 80's ... not cool ... no pun intended.

Weekly Update:
Had a lot of work planning this week but on Sunday, attended the Hollywood Christmas Parade and that was interesting.  It was at night and it actually will not air till later on in December but
you can see them do a few takes while filming which I guess will be edited later.  It was like watching a live broadcast that wasn't live to be edited.  But while there I got to meet a couple of folks:

*Holly Madison - Best known as Hugh's girlfriend from the series "The Girls Next Door" and super nice.
*Brec Bassinger - from the kids show "Bella and the Bulldogs" and also very sweet.
*Jonathan Silverman - of "Weekend at Bernie's" fame and a very chill guy.

At the movies:

The games remain #1 as "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" holds on to the holiday box office with another 51.6 million and is just shy of 200 mil cume.  Still full steam ahead for this film with a potential 300 mil cume when it is said and done.  New at #2 is The Good Dinosaur with a 5-day total of 55.6 mil but a 3-day weekend total of only 39.2 mil.  A bit of a disappointing box office and below expectations for a Pixar family film.  Still could carry its way to a decent box office.  New at #3 is Creed with a weekend of 30.1 mil and a 5-day total of 42.6 mil overall.  Fairly close to expectations and should punch out at around 100 mil total.  Holding on to #4 is "Spectre" with another 12.8 mil as it crawls to try and reach 200 mil cume domestic.  Rounding off the top 5 is "The Peanuts Movie" earning an extra 9.7 mil as it slowly winds down.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week and no surprise here as Victor Frankenstein comes in at #12 with only 3.4 mil for the 5-day opening.  Pretty much at expectations and will soon be on a cable channel near you.
