New Year, same crap
You know, 2023 was probably just as terrible as 2022 (for me). I'm not sure if any of it will turn around, I have no hope for 2024 off the bad and it's barely even day one. But with the latest track record, going to be another crappy year, I just know it and feel it. I would say the years have been progressively worse, just about the same. If it wasn't one thing wrong, it was something else so what same or old thing(s) will 2024 bring? I know some things will definitely be the same but what new thing will rear it's ugly head up? Only time can tell and have to wait for the sudden impact! I hate to say this expression what "what's the worse that can happen?" because you know what, it, them, they will find a way!
So around this time of year you hear a LOT of car ads and I feel like I may have brought this up before but the "sign and drive" event... how dumb of a saying is this? Do others drive and then sign or just drive and not sign for an event? I don't understand this saying because to me it's like saying chew and swallow when you eat event. Please do not swallow and then chew because, well, it won't work by that time. It's like the event is ALMOST explaining the process that will happen when getting a car at Volkswagen. Kind of surprised it isn't the Come into the dealership, be greeted, test drive, talk numbers, sign and drive event. That would be way more accurate and descriptive too. Some companies need a lot of marketing help.
A battle for first is going on! Despite the overall box office being a bit lack-luster this year, WB is sure holding ground with the #1 and 2 spots for a 2nd week in a row. Back to #1 is Wonka with 23.9 mil more as it finally hits the 100 mil mark after 3 weeks. Slight drop to #2 is Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom with 19.5 mil and still shy of 100 mil and could still get there with a struggle. Holding at #3 is Migration with 17.2 mil more and shortly will migrate out. New at #4 is The Color Purple (also WB) with 13 mil to open. This has been out for a week or two already with limited runs and also an earlier opening so in total it has earned 45.3 mil to-date. Drop down to #5 is Anyone But You with 9 mil and also another that will be out soon once more films open up in the coming weeks.
New movies that did not make the top 5:
A couple this week, up first at #6 is The Boys in the Boat with 8.3 mil to open and much like The Color Purple, a to-date total of 21.9 mil. At #8 is Ferrari with 4.1 mil (to-date: 10.9 mil) and these will unlikely see top 5 action but I think the goal was awards for now.
