WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Star Trek Beyond tops the chart with 59.6MM against a 185MM production budget, which means it will have to do big biz in overseas markets. The rebooted franchise has been improving overseas, so it could happen, but it easily fall short (as Into Darkness did, albeit on a larger budget).The prior two installments in this reboot opened to 75.2MM and 70.2MM, respectively (seems bad, but many sequels have dropped off worse this year). Paramount is comparing this to the last Mission Impossible, but that franchise has had a much bigger foreign multiplier than Trek. The Secret Life of Pets places with 29.3MM and a 260.7MM domestic total against a 75MM production budget.  The Ghostbusters reboot shows with 21.6MM and 86.9MM total against a 144MM budget; again, overseasmarkets will be needed to put this in profit, and China may not show it. Merch sales will help some.  Lights Out debuted in the fourth slot with 21.6MM against a mere 4.9MM budget, due to a surprising number of females (54 percent). The debut of Ice Age: Collision Course rounds out the Top Five with 21MM against a 105MM budget, which smells like a flop here, but may be saved abroad, if history is a guide.

THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE...

...with the wicked, wicked WILSON PICKETT, live from Germany, circa 1968. This disappeared from the Tube, but I've managed to find almost all of it reposted there or elsewhere.  His band warms up the crowd with the instrumental "Soulfinger," but Pickett electrifies from the moment he enters for "Everybody Needs Somebody" and doesn't let up through "Ninety-Nine and a Half (Won't Do)," "Mustang Sally" and "Stagger Lee." He takes it down just a half-notch for "I'm In Love" before cranking it back into top gear for "Funky Broadway," during which people dancing in front of the stage start turning up o­nstage (And why not? This rawks almost as hard as The Who's cover of "Shakin' All Over").  The tumultuous finale of "Land of 1000 Dances" from amid the crowd remains missing, but this other "Land of 1000 Dances" from 1966 is almost as wild, and in color to boot. Raw and riveting; if this can't put you in a weekend state of mind, probably nothing can.

DESCENDENTS advance stream Hypercaffium Spazzinate.

LORI McKENNA advance streams The Bird & The Rifle.

QUIERO CREEDENCE: Latin Alternative artists (including Los Lobos, Ozomatli, Los Lonely Boys, La Marisoul, Juan Gabriel and more) transform and reimagine CCR's formidable catalog.
