Well, our weather took a sharp change for the worst! We had started off great with some 60 degree weather and maybe a little rain, that was nice but short-lived. BUT, the week ended up being hot again, up in the 90's and the rest of this coming week plans on being warm. The short-lived Spring has ended as we start our Southern California Summer season already. The nights look like they will stay cool, so trying to sleep with the windows open and then close them up in the morning. Problem is I work upstairs at home and it heats up faster ... the dogs are smart and they go lay out downstairs about mid-day! Wish I can join them!
Weekly Update:Two sort of unofficial holidays occurred this past weekend. The first one is May 4th named after the Star Wars saying "May the Force Be With You." People like to celebrate with today's pop culture and you can see a lot of online deals for Star Wars related merchandise ... and there is a LOT of merchandise. Not just toys anymore either. But it is a fun play on words and kind of celebrated around the world now with the huge success and return of the Star Wars franchise of films. Then on Saturday it was Cinco de Mayo, or the 5th of May. The day itself has no significance but its celebrated in the US with a lot of parties and alcohol. I think many mistake it as Mexico's version of 4th of July but it has no association to any independence from the US or anything else. So, its what we call a "Hallmark Holiday" in which it was created for simply sales ... like Valentine's Day.
At the movies:
No surprise at the box office as "Avengers: Infinity War" holds on to #1 for its 2nd week with an average drop making 112.5 million. Now past 450 mil domestic, It has easily surpassed 1 Billion world-wide. New at a distant #2 is Overboard with 14.8 mil and right where we expected it to be. Holding on to #3 is "A Quiet Place" with 7.6 mil and still doing pretty well. Also holding on to #4 is "I Feel Pretty" with another 4.9 mil and will tap out soon. Rounding off the top 5 is "Rampage" with 4.6 mil and will definitely fall short of the 100 mil mark.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
A couple this week but not surprising. First is Tully at #6 with 3.2 mil and about expected numbers. New at #10 is Bad Samaritan with only 1.8 mil and also no surprise there.
