WEEKEND BOX OFFICE:  Sully repeated atop the chart with 22MM on a leggy 37 percent drop, easily defeating two attempted franchise revivivals and the latest from Oliver Stone.  Blair Witch placed with 9.7MM, which is likely disappointing even  against a 5MM budget.  Bridget Jones's Baby showed with a meager 8.2MM against a 35MM budge; even another 29MM overseas may not be enough to save this one. Snowden debuted in the fourth slot with 8MM, Oliver Stone's worst opening since U-Turn. Don't Breathe rounded out the Top Five with another 5.6MM on away-leggy-for-horror 32 percent drop, having grossed over 75MM so far against a 9.9MM budget.

THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

...with T.REX! Marc Bolan died on September 17, 1977, so here's a few items off the beaten path, like this working version of "Get It On (Bang A Gong)," which is a little nsfw toward the end.  French TV is the source for live clips of "Hot Love," "Cadillac," "Telegram Sam" and "Jeepster" circa 1972, as well as "Ride A White Swan" from 1970. The band's "Baby Strange" later found its way into Big Star's setlists.  Still, "20th Century Boy" may be my favorite track from the band. Wanna go deeper? Check out the documentary, The Story Of Marc Bolan & T.Rex.
