REMARKABLY LITTLE in the way of what passes for "news" here. There's this:

BRAD PITT is not dating Sienna Miller or Elle Macpherson, contrary to recent reports.

OTHERWISE, I'll see you tomorrow.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Transformers: The Last Knight tops the chart with 45.3MM (and 69MM since Wed.) against a 217MM budget; it's the lowest debut of the franchise. But it made almost 200MM overseas, 123MM in China alone, and thus will likely profit based mostly on foreign receipts, much like the prior installment of this series.  Cars 3 placed with 25.2MM on a 53 percent drop itprobably couldn't afford, esp. as this franchise is not one of Pixar's strongest overseas.  Wonder Woman shows with 25.2MM (it's a tie for second given it's estimates) on a leggy 39 percent drop, crossing the300MM mark domestically and the same again in foreign markets. 47 Meters Down takes the fourth slot with 7.4MM and a 24.3MM total so far against a reported 5MM budget.  All Eyez on Me rounds out the Top Five with 5.9 million on a staggering 78 percent drop that suggests all of Tupac's fans went the first weekend.  Below the fold, The Mummy skidded another 60 percent. Ouch.

THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

... with POWER POP (REDUX)! For whatever reason, I have considered Summer the ideal season for gems like Badfinger's "No Matter What" (which Pate covered on occasion) and "Baby Blue", and even Todd Rundgren's "I Saw the Light" and Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me."  Ditto for more obscure tracks like The Rubinoos "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" (see also their vintage cover of "Please Please Me"), Off Broadway's "Stay In Time" and "Full Moon Turn My Head Around," and Pezband's "Baby It's Cold Outside" and "Close Your Eyes."
