Just a bit of fire ...
So if the pandemic and the heat wasn't enough for us ... fires. I guess for California it is fire season but for the entire West Coast? One of the main fires that started in Southern California was due to a baby reveal party which lead to an all-out major fire. But even though that was one of the bigger ones earlier in the week, now the entire West Coast of the US is on fire. All the way up through Washington state to close down near San Diego ... almost border-to-border actually. I'm not sure the cause of 99.9% of these fires but the entire West Coast has been under a huge cloud of smoke, raining ash and very yellow and orange light constantly for days. I think it was about Saturday we stopped seeing orange and just a thick grey. I am not sure if that is better, it may mean the fires (or some of them) are out now but the air quality is so bad.
This past Friday, Orange County (OC) was allowed to re-open indoor dining at restaurants. The OC had been taken off the Covid watch list about 2 to 3 weeks ago as we had no new reported cases. What does that mean? MASKS WORK!! Staying home works! Social distancing works! But because of this, I went to Korean BBQ on Saturday night, it was delicious!! I know a lot of places were setting up outdoor areas to stay in business but it has been so hot, I would not want to sit at a table with a very hot cooking area in front of me producing more heat towards me! And even when it was getting darker, many nights recently it was stayed 90 degrees! Now fortunately this past week the night temps dropped into the 70's and 80's BUT smoke. With all the fires up and down the whole West Coast, the air quality is so bad and we had ash rain a couple of days. Yet another reason to wear a mask.
At the movies:
Holding ground at #1 is "Tenet" with another 6.7 million and now almost 30 mil cume. Not sure what this would equate to with a normal box office run but very good numbers with all things considering. Holding on to #2 is "The New Mutants" with 2 mil more and up to 15 mil now. Holding at #3 is "Unhinged" with another 1.5 mil and doing well for this indie studio. Coming in at #4 is "The Broken Hearts Gallery" with 1.1 mil for it's limited debut. Probably not a lot on this film but with the way releases are now, could do fairly well. Rounding off the top 5 is "Bill & Ted Face the Music" with 260K but this is is after their VOD release several weeks ago.
