Weekly Update:That food poisoning I got last Sunday, that thing lingered! Even today my stomach still did not feel 100% but the Monday right after I was still very week and didn't eat anything. The Tuesday after I was better but light headed and stomach still upset. Wednesday I had the annual Variety Poker event at Paramount, was feeling better but still not 100% Even today, still not 100% but getting there, I heard this can linger for as much as 10-days after. Crazy indeed! But the poker tournament was fun and got to meet some new people:
*Gigi Edgley - best known from "Farscape" and incredibly nice!
*Taishi Tamaki - actor from Japan and really nice guy.
Rest of the folks were either friends or have met before, it was a pretty nice night.
At the movies:
Pretty solid box office this weekend with the amount of big action films out now. Taking the crown this week is Jason Bourne with 60 million to open. Word-of-mouth is good so it should carry it to a potential 200 mil cume. Big drop to #2 is "Star Trek Beyond" with 24 mil and now just past 100 mil cume. That is a 60% drop from last weekend but two actions films in the top 2, hard to compete. New at #3 is Bad Moms with 23.4 mil and close to expectations. Hanging on to #4 is "The Secret Life of Pets" with another 18.2 mil and just shy of 300 mil. Should reach that by end of day tomorrow. Rounding off the top 5 is "Lights Out" with another 10.8 mil and quickly burning out.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Nerve comes in at #8 with only 9 mil to open. Close to expectations and will quickly disappear from theatres.
