Weekly Update:Wow this past week at work has been nothing short of insane! Many system issues and challenges with lots of work, pretty non-stop to be honest. It was just go go go and I am tired. Basically worked, ate, worked, slept and then rinse and repeat. With no relief in sight, it may be a busy couple of weeks if not longer but glad its happening now instead of a holiday time frame where it would be 10 times more crazy. But things happen so this is one of them and I am ready for a nap.
At the movies:
The hunt was on for #1 as The Predator earns top honors raking in 24 million for its debut. Word-of-mouth isn't strong so won't hit that 100 mil cume mark. Big Drop to #2 is "The Nun" with another 18.2 mil as it will struggle to hit 100 mil but still possible. New at #3 is A Simple Favor with 16.1 mil, slightly below expectations but a fair number. New at #4 is White Boy Rick with 8.8 mil and close to estimations. Rounding off the top 5 is "Crazy Rich Asians" with 8.7 mil and just shy of 150 mil. It is a big drop from first to fifth but the drop rate was below average.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one as Unbroken: Path to Redemption comes in at #9 with 2.4 mil and right on expectations.

As many of you have noted that use the Internet, it has been announced that Disney has required the rights to the Star Wars franchise, and in the summer of 2015, we will see the release of Star Wars: Episode VII. Herewith is my proposal for the plot of that movie.
I’ll begin with standard title sequence and John Williams’ fanfare, followed by a scroll to be written. I would like to mention that Brian De Palma wrote the original opening scroll for Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. I think it would be nice nod to the franchise if he were to write this opening scroll, then, pan down from the twin suns of Tatooine. We are now close on the mouth of the Sarlacc Pit. After a beat, the gloved Mandalorian armour gauntlet of Boba Fett grabs onto the sand outside the Sarlacc pit, and the feared bounty hunter pulls himself from the maw of the sandbeast." - Patton Oswalt as Garth Blundin on the TV series "Parks and Recreation."
