4TH OF JULY EDITION

Tomorrow is the 4th and even though its not tomorrow yet ... fireworks have been going on all weekend!  Its kind of annoying because trying to sleep and have the window open to get the nice night cool year, interrupted with pops and whizzes!!  Some firecrackers and I do like all that but not when its past midnight or even 1AM ... or 3AM and I am trying to sleep because I have to work.

Weekly Update:
With the fireworks going on ... the dogs get either annoyed or scared!  Shadow is usually very much "who cares" but this year, she seemed like she had to be near me or very close.  I think she wasn't liking the celebrations this time around.  But poor Orion, he was terrified each and every night since Thursday.  He has a thunder-shirt which is suppose to help and comfort and it does help!  But he still shakes uncontrollably a lot during this time and also during New Year's.  At least with New Year's its generally only during that one night.  The 4th seems like a time frame ... nothing like celebrating the birth of the country with small contained explosives.

At the movies:

No surprises this weekend as Despicable Me 3 takes the box office crown with a 75.4 million opening.  Good reaction and on track to be north of 200 mil cume for domestic.  New at a distant #2 is Baby Driver with 21 mil to open and slightly above expectations.  Big drop to #3 is "Transformers: The Last Knight" with only 17 mil and just barely crossing the 100 mil cume mark.  Not a lot of road left on this one.  Holding ground at #4 is "Wonder Woman" with 15.6 mil more and shy of 350 mil cume.  This film is just over 700 mil world-wide and may be a slow struggle to potentially hit 1 billion, uncertain at this point.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Cars 3" with 9.5 mil and unfortunately not much track left for this one.

New Movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as The House loses out at #6.  With 9 mil and well below expectations, another attempted R-Rated Summer comedy fell short.

Quote of the week:
"I'm a Ford, not a Lincoln" - Gerald R. Ford

Facts & Tips:
Ulysses Simpson Grant was fine $20.00 for speeding on his horse.

"I was polite too, I said no you may not." - Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner in "Full House."
