I went to the mall the other day and some people got into their car to leave, so I followed them to get their spot. Like anyone, would sort of follow and wait so when they pull out, I pull in, simple. So, the couple gets in their car, brake lights come on and then they sit there ... waiting ... waiting ... why did you bother to start your car and press the break lights when you don't intend to leave right away? I thought there are like unwritten rules for busy mall parking lots and this is one of them: get in car and leave so next person can start their shopping experience. About after 2 or 3 minutes they finally pulled out. I know that doesn't sound like much but count to 120 to 180 Mississippi's and let me know how that goes.
Weekly Update:Made my yearly trek to Las Vegas for the annual Cinemacon convention held (once again) at Caesar's Hotel. It was again a quick trip like last time, in fact less than 24 hours. Arrived Tuesday night around 10PM and left Wednesday by 7PM to get back home. But while there got to meet a few people during a really nice event at Gordon Ramsey's Pub and Grill inside Casear's Palace:
*Rian Johnson - Director of Star Wars Episode VIII and a really nice guy.
*Ana de Armas - from the upcoming film "Knives Out" and stunning.
*David Harbour - from the new "Hellboy" movie and a very cool guy.
At the movies:
A big new movie at #1 as Shazam! flies in with 56.8 million. Good word-of-mouth on this movie and will easily surpass the 100 mil mark. New at #2 is Pet Sematary with 25 mil to open and well above expectations. Fair reactions so should do OK numbers in the end. Big drop down to #3 is "Dumbo" with 18.2 mil and appears it could struggle to break 100 mil in the end. Holding on to #4 is "Us" with another 13.8 mil as it has made more than its fair share at the box office. Rounding off the top 5 is "Captain Marvel" with 12.7 mil as it tries to reach 400 mil cume domestic, could still do it.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as The Best of Enemies comes in at #6 with 4.5 mil and pretty much as expected.
