All studios, all the time
Wow did we have a heat wave this week and with a lot of humidity which makes it so much worse. The humidity is definitely not normal for us and not sure what is causing it. What was interesting one day we had a little drizzle of rain and it did cool off a bit which was really nice but then right back up into the high 90's again the very next day. Running that AC more frequently since my office is on the 2nd floor the house and it gets warmer faster as heat rises plus running computers will generate some heat on top of that. Why is solar so expensive and have to deal with my HOA if I want to get solar... I would love to convert to solar if I could! I have the roof space and the direct sun for it but I do have golf balls that hit the roof all the time because people think they are pros and can't golf.
I helped out a couple of events this past week and both were pretty steamy weather wise. First was the 11th Annual Variety Poker Tournament at Paramount Studios. It was a good event and not fully packed as in the past but I think the strike kind of lends itself to that a bit but still raised money for a good cause despite what other things were going on. Then later I went to Disney Studios to help with a couple of screenings of Haunted Mansion and also got to see it as well. It's a fun movie and had a good amount of comedy. I don't see this being an overall big film but a nice Summer distraction at best.
Holding strong at #1 for a 2nd week is Barbie earning another 93 million and now just over 350 mil domestic. A very low drop from week 1 to this week and continues to have good word-of-mouth. Should reach 400 in no time and on to 500 from there. Also holding strong at #2 is Oppenheimer with 46.2 mil more and now just shy of 200 mil domestic. No problem getting to that number sometime this week and it's only hindering factor is the long run time. Great word-of-mouth and will carry this for the rest of Summer. New at #3 is Haunted Mansion with 24.2 mil and mixed reviews on this one. But everyone does agree it is much better than its predecessor. Slight drop to #4 is Sound of Freedom with 12.4 mil as this continues to make good headway. Now close to 150 mil, should get there tomorrow. Rounding off the top 5 is Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One with 10.7 mil as it may end it's run just shy of 200 mil.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
In at #6 is Talk to Me earning 10 mil which is a good number from the indie studio A24. This film won't do much more but still a solid number. At #10 in a more limited run (less than 500 screens) is Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani with 1.5 mil and this one is already on the way out.
