THE MOST EXPENSIVE RECORD Never Sold.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Beauty and the Beast again dominated the chart with 88.3MM on a 49 percent drop, crossing the 300MM mark domestically t a pace fast enough that it could wing up being in the Top Five all-time domestic grossers. Power Rangers places with 40MM, which may put it in jeopardy worlwide against a 100MM production budget and big marketing costs -- but Lionsgate reportedly sold off the foreign rights to cover its risk, so if this one has average legs, they may be okay. Kong: Skull Island shows with 14.4MM on a 48 percent drop that's kind of leggy, but it's the strong biz it's doing in China and Japan that will eventually bring the big ape into a movie with Godzilla.  Life debuted in the fourth slot with 12.6MM against a 58MM budget, which means this one is going to struggle to get into the black in theaters.  Logan rounds out the Top Five with another 10.1MM added to its already successful international run.

THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

... with THE BYRDS!  Pretty much because I dig them as we turn into Spring (or Fall).  Let's start with a rare 1965 clip of their breakthrough smash cover of "Mr. Tambourine Man."  There are screaming girls, plus go-go dancers when they hit Shivaree for "All I Really Want to Do" and "Feel A Whole Lot Better."  Next up is a rare sync of "I Knew I'd Want You." There are even more dancers when they cover Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" for Shindig! on June 23, 1965, while I'm pretty sure that's Ed Wynn introducing "Chimes of Freedom."  You might recognize the voice introducing "Bells Of Rhymney" from poolside in August 1965 and "It Won't Be Wrong" from a corral in January 1966 on Where The Action Is.  BONUS:  Want a couple in color?  Here's "Turn, Turn, Turn!" and "Mr. Spaceman." DOUBLE BONUS: A rare 1967 sync of "Eight Miles High."
