THE 20 BEST ELVIS COSTELLO SONGS, according to Paste.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: X-Men: Days of Future Past dominates the chart with 111 million over the holiday weekend, 94.1 million over the regular weekend. The number of 90+ million debuts this yearhas to have studios smiling (and bodes well for the next Transformers flick).  There was a bit of frontloading, but the mutants' worldwide haul will likely make up for any money lost on X-Men: First Class, even with a 200 million budget to recoup. Getting Lennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender (likely on the cheap, before they became huge stars) in on the ground floor of the reboot is paying dividends now.  Godzilla places with 39.4 million, taking a 58 percent hit from Marvel's heroes. The big lizard still has 323 million worldwide...and does not open in China and Japan until June and July.  The debut of Blended shows with 18.2 million against a 40 million budget, a measure of how much Adam Sandler has damaged his brand these past few years; even Drew Barrymore was no help here.  Neighbors was close behind with 17.2 million and a 117 million domestic total against an 18 million budget.The Amazing Spider-Man 2 rounds out the Top 5 with another 10 million, taking a big hit from the X-Men and the perception that it isn't up to snuff.  Yet overseas, Spidey has alreadygrossked 489 million, whereas the (better) Captain America sequel has 453 million.
