BUSY WEEKEND. Probably the same for you. But I have some things...
WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Curse of La Llorona tops the chart with 26.5MM against a 9MM production budget, a semi-surprising showing perhaps due to being associated with The Conjuring. Another win for Aquaman director James Wan, listed as a producer here .Shazam! placed with 17.3MM on a 29 percent drop; it crosses the 300MM mark worldwide before Thanos arrives this weekend. Breakthrough shows with 11.1MM (14.6MM over the long weekend, matching its reported production budget). Captain Marvel zips back up to the fourth slot with 9.1MM as people prep for the Avengers, Little rounds out the Top Five with 8.5MM on a 45 percent drop. Below the fold, Hellboy cratered from third to tenth on a 68 percent plunge; that is what the biz calls a bomb. JOHN SINGLETON, the Oscar nominated director and writer of Boyz N’ the Hood, has suffered a stroke. ADELE and her husband Simon Konecki have separated after more than seven years of marriage. MICHELLE WILLIAMS and Mount Eerie's Phil Elverum, have separated after less than a year of marriage. MICHELLE BRANCH and the Black Keys' Patrick Carney were married Saturday evening. CHARLIZE THERON reveals why her adopted child Jackson is wearing dresses. AMANDA BYNES' lawyer gave an update on her mental condition. SEAGRAM HEIRESS Clare Bronfman pleads guilty in the NXIVM sex slave case. CONAN O'BRIEN finally got to inteview Robert Caro. Face forward, true believers: I should be at something like full strength tomorrow.

THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE: ...with the YOUNG FRESH FELLOWS! Live at Cicero's in St. Louis, On November 23rd,1985, so this is Chuck Carroll-era YFFs. Selections include: "Gus Theme," "White Bird," "If I Had A Hammer," "Power Mowers' Theme," "Where Is Groovy Town?", "Sharing Patrol," "Topsy Turvy," "Young Fresh Fellows Theme," "Hang On Sloopy," "All Messed Up," "Big House/ Love Boat Theme medley" "Mr. Salamander's Review," "Down By The Pharmacy," "Close to You/ Someone I Care About," "Aurora Bridge," "How Much About Last Night Do You Remember?" "This Little Mystery," "Searchin' USA," "Fair Exchange," and "My Friend Ringo." THE NATIONAL, Live from France. CRAIG FINN advance streams I Need A New War. JOSH RITTER advance streams Fever Breaks. SUNN O))) advance streams Life Metal. RODRIGO Y GABRIELLA advance stream Mettavolution. TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS: "I Think We're Alone Now," at the Village Square. No, really. BIG THIEF have never sounded looser or more in tune with each other. JASON BONHAM retracted a claim that Jimmy Page gave hi cocaine at age 16. THE 50 BEST MUSIC DOCUMENTARIES, according to Vulture. THE NUMBER ONES looks at Helen Reddy's "Delta Dawn" a simple song with a complicated history. WHY IS THIS SATURDAY DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHER DAYS? Because ABC has its annual showing of The Ten Commandments, a grand spectacle featuring acting from Edward G. Robinson and Anne Baxter that is so over-the-top that Yul Brynner starts to look good by comparison. And while Robinson's Dathan never actually spoke the line "Where's your Messiah now?" in the movie, it -- like "Play It Again, Sam" (not spoken in Casablanca) -- has become part of a part of our culture. The line actually comes from Billy Crystal, originally a bit from the Oscars, iirc. It later turned up on The Simpsons, with Chief Wiggum playing Dathan to Ned Flanders' Moses. SUNDAY is EASTER, so I'll probably break out my copy of Ben-Hur, or catch King of Kings on TCM. NOW SHOWING: This weekend's wide releases include The Curse of La Llorona, which is currently scoring 33 percent on the ol' Tomatometer; Breakthrough, scoring 64 percent; and Penguins, scoring 90 percent. ROBERT DOWNEY, JR seems to be the only member of the cast who has read the full script of Avengers: Endgame. CHILD'S PLAY has a trailer online. HOBBS & SHAW has a trailer online. STRANGER THINGS is headed for a trial over whether the Duffer Brothers stole the idea. CHET COPPOCK, the Godfather of Chicago sports talk radio, died following an auto accident in South Carolina. He was 70 years old.
A PUP on a segway-type b0ard. A WOOLY MAMMOTH'S cells were brefly reactivated. They spared no expense. ANIMAL CRACKERS have been freed from their cages. TWO DADS, ONE MOM, ONE EAGLE'S NEST, a lot of drama.
