WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Angel Has Fallen lands atop the chart with 21MM against a budget reported anywhere between 40-80MM; if it's the latter, the overseas grossses will again have to make up the difference. Good Boys places with 11.8MM on a 45 percent drop which is probably solid for an R-rated comedy.  Overcomer shows with 8.2MM against a 5MM budget, which has to be a win for the faith-based drama.  The Lion King takes the fourth slot with another 8.2MM on a 34 percent drop as it crosses the 500MM mark domestically.  Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw rounds out the Top Five with 8.1MM and 147MM domestic, but the real story -- per usual with this franchise -- is the overseas total of 441.2MM.

THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

... with GRAM PARSONS! As a member of both The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, and as a solo artist, Parsons anticipated the so-called country rock of the 1970s and the alt-country movement that began around 1990. There is not a lot of GP video floating around, but "Christine's Tune" is a good place to start, though the video for "Older Guys" is great because someone made them go out to christen Judge Smails' sloop. The Hell's Angels make an unfortunate cameo in the clip of "Six Days o­n the Road" from the infamous Altamont festival in 1969. The posthumous video for "Sin City" is nice also. BONUS: Dwight Yoakum covers "Wheels" at a Parsons tribute concert. DOUBLE BONUS: Frequent duet partner Emmylou Harris covers "Return of the Grievous Angel" with Ryan Adams (and Buddy Miller o­n bass) at a different tribute.
