End of the terrible year - hope ahead
This is a unique edition of the blog because it takes place right in the middle between Christmas which was on Friday and before New Year's which is this Friday! So a combo-edition to celebrate the holidays and to wrap-up what will probably be known as the worst year in US History and at the same time, one of the best... The worst: From a failed government administration and over 300,00 lives lost due to or in part by the Coronavirus. From one of the biggest economic crashes in generations and a country never divide since the 1800's. To people who simply want to believe what they heard from someone on YouTube over practicing specialist and made ups and phrases that are direct terms of hatred and a rise of things that should never have existed in our past, but have come back to our present. The Best: A new administration coming in of hope and a message of togetherness. A new government of actual qualified individuals of both genders and diverse ethnic backgrounds. A vaccine being distributed and implemented to hopefully stop this rising death and illness toll. Talking and accepting advise and help from not only within but abroad. Once again leading by example of just simply caring and showing. An end to the continuous lies and bringing America not only physically but mentally and fiscally healthy again! The Challenge: the last four years of destruction and historical amount of debt. But as the cliché goes, we NOW have a light at the end of this very dark tunnel... but we need to get through the tunnel first.
I can't remember if I had commented on this before but just in case ... why do people rev up their engine at a red light and then bolt like they are in race when it goes green? Just to show off? I had the same car show-off four times because every light it would take off but then the next light would catch them and I would just cruise back up either behind or next to them like no big deal. Why are you 1) wasting the gas and 2) adding that unneeded wear on our engine? I'm sure your tires don't appreciate it either and who did you impress? Every single person who catches up to you saving their gas and car while you do the whole process again? FYI, your car wasn't that impressive to begin with, show me how it might run on solar energy or inside it's as quiet like a sealed box... THEN I would be impressed!
Despite WB's new format of going day-and-date with streaming and theatres, with the limited number of screens available it appears "Wonder Woman 1984" did fairly well. For a holiday weekend opening, it came in at #1 with 16.7 million. Mixed word-of-mouth on the movie and this coming weekend being New Year's Eve, traditionally not a big box office weekend. We should see a significant drop but then a potential rebound the following week. New at #2 is "News of the World" with 2.4 mil and potentially more of an award contender. Drop down to #3 is "The Croods: A New Age" with 1.7 mil as it hits the 30 mil mark. New at #4 is "Promising Young" with 680k and another potential award contender. Rounding off the top 5 is "Fatale" with 660k as it struggles to get to 5 mil and unlikely it will reach that.
