WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Hotel Translylvania 3: Summer Vacation tops the chart with 44.1MM, right between the original and the sequel; note those opened in September to play through Halloween, while this one will have to make its money on weekdays also.  Ant-Man and the Wasp places with 28,8MM on a 62 percent drop that's a little concerning but not shocking; it now looks to top out around where the original did, short of 200MM domestic.  The lagging foreign grosses might also be a concerm, tho the World Cup was likely a factor here. Skyscraper shows with 25.5MM against a 125MM budget which means The Rock better be cooking in foreign markets.  One wonders if there isn't just a lot of fatigue this Summer: Star Wars, The Rock, maybe even Marvel -- still plenty of money being made, but some concern about studios spending big on supposedly safe plays.  Incredibles 2 takes the fourth slot with another 16.2MM, but seeming less likely to become the year's third 600MM grosser.  Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom rounds out the Top Five with 15.5MM, and the 363MM total domestic also raises that fatigue question -- or maybe the franchise reboot hasn't aged well for people.

THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

...with THREE DOG NIGHT! Once again, I'm enjoying the guilty pleasure of enjoying "Eli's Coming" with fellow fans of the late, lamented SportsNight. That, along with memories of The Service's cover of "Shambala" led me to compile a few more, including "Mama Told Me Not to Come," "Joy To The World," "One," "Liar," and "Celebrate."

LORI McKENNA advance streams The Tree.

NATHAN SALSBURG advance streams Third.

STRINGER streams My Bad.

BIG RED MACHINE: Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and The National's Aaron Dessner share four new songs.

GUIDED BY VOICES shares "You Own The Night."

METRIC shares "Dark Saturday."

CULTS is covering The Motels' debut LP and share "Total Control" as a teaser.

FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE work the car wash for "Denise," whom you may know as T'Pol.

DURAN DURAN: Simon Le Bon has denied sexually assaulting a fan, saying her story is "simply untrue".

THE BEATLES: Five Myths about the Fab Four.

NEIL YOUNG has some bad fans. He even issued a statement.

PAUL SIMON is issuing an album of new renditions of songs from across his catalogue, just before his retirement tour ends.

NOW SHOWING: This weekend's wide releases are Hotel Transylvania 3, which is currently scoring 62 percent on the ol' Tomatometer; and Skyscraper, scoring 50 percent. Sorry to Bother You expamds near-wide at 96 percent.

MIRA SORVINO has claimed that a casting director gagged her with a condom when she was 16.

HENRY CAVILL apologized after coming up against sizable social media criticism for an interview in which he appeared to conflate flirting with rape.

DWAYNE "THE ROCK" JOHNSON talks about the birth of his daughter.

JOAQUIN PHOENIX & ROONEY MARA  are "so in love," but won't marry. I blame the operating system.

THE EMMYS nominations are announced. Congrats! And here's The Guardian on the snubs. FWIW, I was a huge fan of Twin Peaks decades ago when it was getting snubbed by the Emmys, and have zero issue with it getting snubbed now. The Showtime series was painful, because David Lynch -- God bless him -- is largely done with any sort of conventional narrative.
