LABOR DAY EDITION

Ah Labor Day ... a day celebrating those who work ... wait ... is this pretty much celebrating everyone?  I mean in some form or fashion we all work.  Maybe its a manual job or on a computer.  Working on yourself or your wealth?  Perhaps you are working on a goal or trying to figure out a puzzle!  This day is too vague but I am guessing it was intended for those who are blue collar type of jobs like mining coal or building houses and buildings.  Things where it requires a lot of manual labor and they can relax one day out of the year to BBQ ... because the weekends don't count!!  Geez, people.

Weekly Update:
This was a BUSY week!!!  Had an event on Friday for work which I was a part of organizing so several days/hours before Friday were spent in preparation for it.  Had to make sure materials were set, assignments ready and things planned.  We were setting up these nice little extended break activities and one of them was at a place called LAG.  Basically its a gaming bar with a couple of cabinet video games and then big monitors above the bar for other games like Mario Kart.  They got free non-alcoholic beverages and appetizers to enjoy while they played or simply hung out.  I would not might going back to just sit and enjoy.  I only tried a little bit of the food but it was really good.

At the movies:
Three weeks in a row at #1 is "Crazy Rich Asians," which is a rare feat nowadays.  Earning another 22.1 million, with another low percentage drop and breaking the 100 mil cume mark!  Solid word-of-mouth continues to give this film fuel as we enter the post-season now.  Holding to #2 is "The Meg" with another 10.5 mil as this fish can swim.  Gaining some ground at #3 is "Mission: Impossible - Fallout" with 7 mil more and just passes the 200 mil cume mark.  Gaining big ground to #4 (also expanded) is Searching with 6 mil for this platform release. Rounding off the top 5 is "Operation Finale" with 6 mil to open and pretty much expected.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Two this week ... coming in at #12 is Kin with 3 mil to open and below expectations by about 10 mil.  Appearing at #15 is Ya Veremos with 1.8 mil and right as expected.
