We are in deep Summer time blues now! Why is it blue? As in sadness ... because it is miserably hot! I mean the heat is so uncomfortable and just flat out miserable! So that is my blues and no other reason than trying to stay cool. But we are getting some humidity which is so unusual for us. This isn't our kind of Summer and the straight heat was already terrible, now this. Oh and clearly the rains we had, a LOT of that is dried up. The drought will be in full effect again very soon.
Weekly Update:So I have been pulled from my normal duties this week for a special project and launch coming up. Its an fair product, still seems a little behind on the technology side that we should be at but 5 years but I guess its progress? I mean overall it is a bit sad being this behind the ball but suppose it could be corporate red tape maybe? They claim its more streamlined but honestly it feels even worse a bit if this is the product that is supposedly the new thing. It's new but already feels outdated if that makes sense? Well, I guess if I have something old and I give it to someone else, its new to them.
At the movies:
We know who won the war this weekend as War for the Planet of the Apes takes #1 with a under performing 56.5 mil. Below overall expectations but reviews are solid on the film so might carry a bit. Above-average then normal drop to #2 is "Spider-Man: Homecoming" with another 45.2 mi and now just pass 200 mil cume domestic. This may struggle to get to 300 mil now with that kind of drop despite its good word-of-mouth. Slight drop to #3 is "Despicable Me 3" with an extra 19 mil and closing in at 200 mil mark. Small drop to #4 is "Baby Drive" with 8.8 mil and could be driven off soon. Rounding off the top 5 is "The Big Sick" at 7.6 mil. This film started off on a limited run and has been gaining in box office with great reviews.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Wish Upon comes in at #7 with only 5.6 mil. Not surprising as it wasn't expected to break double digits and really just a throw-away film.
