This past Saturday was St. Patrick's Day! Really not a holiday but just an excuse to make everything green and drink a lot. I mean there is a lot of historical significance behind it but who really remembers it but those in Ireland or those past 60 years old maybe? But now ... just an excuse to do a lot of drinking ... lots and lots of drinking. But just hope all are safe and got home OK. Not being a drinker, I just relaxed.
Weekly Update:There is this shopping center near me with a some nice restaurants, a couple of stores and just overall boutique things like Chemistry Ice Cream. They have arrows in the lanes and a few are one way only to help the in and out traffic of that area. I believe there are even signs that say DO NOT ENTER but to their defense the aisles are wider than your typical aisle. But when two cars are coming at you taking up both sides of the aisle (one going left the other right) and you turn into them ... they think someone is in the wrong spot but in fact you are buddy! I will admit I have gone down the wrong way at times in this area but I did it on purpose to cut some time off (really only seconds) but I did make sure it was clear to do it and I would make it, not hold up more cars. But ... people.
At the movies:
BIG surprise as "Black Panther" holds on to the #1 crown for its 5th week-in-a-row! Earning another 27 million and now has just passed the 600 mil cume mark for domestic box office. Will still be shy of the 700 mark but amazing numbers for a February release film! New at #2 is the reboot of Tomb Raider with 25.5 mil and was actually close to estimations, just not enough to de-throne the king.. New at #3 is I Can Only Imagine with 17.1 mil to open and above all expectations. Average drop down to #4 is "A Wrinkle in Time" with 16.6 mil and still won't hit that 100 mil cume mark despite the film's pedigree of talent. New and rounding off the top 5 is Love, Simon with 11.5 mil and very close to expectations. Good word-of-mouth on this film but may be a struggle in the deep south.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
One that went limited wide (under 1000 but more than 500) is 7 Days in Entebbe which came in at the 13th spot this week and earned only 1.6 mil. The per screen average is less than 2K so this film will fade away fast.
