Our weather, for Summer, remains ... cold! Now granted we don't have ice outside like the picture suggest but it is very cold for us at this time of year. Light jacket weather during the day but at night it is almost "turn on the heater" temperatures! In the 50's range but it isn't like the Northern party of the US cold. Just freezing for us down South. I do wonder if this is helping our mountains and the water supply keeping the ice frozen a bit longer? I mean that would definitely be a good thing right now and it being cold ideally we are using less water in general. Who knows about these things! We are still in a drought!
Weekly Update:So Sunday night I had the opportunity to check out the new Star Wars Galaxy Edge at Disneyland. Last week I got to try the new ride out but this trip was the entire land and it is amazing. You have no idea where you are because the buildings and rock-face go up so high, you forget you are in Disneyland. Not sure if I mentioned that before or not but just in case. Every little detail was perfect and you felt out-of-this-world. My only complaint would be the event itself. For a semi-exclusive event, it felt worse then being at the parks on a holiday.
At the movies:
Big surprise at the box office as Aladdin comes in at number 1. Now that isn't the surprise but the 86.1 million opening is! Above many expectations and will this have legs to carry it to 200-300 mil? Time will tell! Drop down to #2 is "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum" with 24.4 mil more as it just creeps past the 100 mil cume mark. Slightly on track to do another 50 or just shy of that. Slight drop down to #3 is "Avengers: Endgame" with 16.8 mil as it is only inches away from 800 mil cume and should get that in a day or two. Drop down to #4 is "Pokemon: Detective Pikachu" with 13.3 mil extra and also just past the 100 mil cume mark. Not a lot in this but did well enough.. Rounding off the top 5 is Brightburn with 7.5 mil to open and below expectations on this horror/thriller.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Booksmart comes in at #6 with only 6.5 mil and pretty close to expectations
