FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE play "It Must Be Summer" unpluggedy. THE NATIONAL visited the World Cafe. NORAH JONES visited World Cafe. NEW RELEASES: Richard Hawley, Doug Tuttle, and Nicole Yun are among the new LP's available to stream. Digging Tuttle in particular. FATHER JOHN MISTY debuted a new song on tour. BLEACHED shares a video for "Kiss You Goodbye." ELVIS COSTELLO has been named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to music; he has mixed feelings about it. THE FLAMING LIPS' Wayne Coyne and his wife Katy have announced the birth of their first child together. THE BEST ALBUMS of 2019 (So Far), according to NME. THE NUMBER ONES looks at Billy Preston's wacky romp "Nothing From Nothing," the first song ever performed on NBC's Saturday Night.
WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Secret Life of Pets 2 tops the chart with 47.1MM, which is... pretty terrible when you consider the original mademore than twice as much in its opening weekend. The studio wisely held the budget to 80MM (the original cost 75MM), so this will make money, but it has to be a huge disappointment. And yet, people may not notice because it's probably not as bad as X-Men: Dark Phoenix places with 33MM, which is far worse than the 54MM opening of the first X-Men flick in 2000 -- and this one has a 200MM price tag. They should have seen the writing on the wall with Apocalypse, and also realized this installment (which is not well-reviewed) would pay for how mediocre the last one was. We can only hope that Kevin Feige can figure out a way do this properly in the MCU, now that the Mouse owns the Fox. Aladdin takes the fourth slot with 24.5MM on a 43 percent slide, which the Mouse will definitely take after the Dumbo scare. Last week's chart champ, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, rounds out the Top Five with 15.5MM on a 68 percent drop, which is bad but similar to the fall -off from the 2014 reboot. CHRIS PRATT & KATHERINE SCHWARZENEGGER got married at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California, on Saturday. DAPHNE ZUNIGA wed her longtime beau David Mleczko. DENNIS QUAID is dating 26-year-old University of Texas student Laura Savoie. SIGOURNEY WEAVER confirmed that she will be appearing in Jason Reitman's upcoming version of Ghostbusters. GWYNETH PALTROW had no idea she was in Spider-Man: Homecoming. KEANU REEVES will be featured in the Cyberpunk 2077 videogame. ENTERTAIMENT WEEKLY is going monthly — but keeping its name. NINE KITTENS, trying to follow the ball. "MUSIC can heal the wounds that medicine cannot touch." (Dr. Debasish Mridha) SOMETIMES you pet the cat, sometimes the cat pets you. "BUT I WANT THIS ONE."
