HURRICANE/TROPICAL STORM HARVEY obviously occupied much of the news. NEVERTHELESS, I have...
WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: It was the worst weekend box office overall since the immediate aftermath of 9/11. The Hitman's Bodyguard topped the chart with 10MM on a 53 percent drop. Annabelle: Creation placed with7.4MM on a 53 percent drop. Leap! showed with 5MM. Wind River actually zipped up from tenth last week to the fourth slot with 4.4MM and is now close to recouping its modest 11MM production budget. Logan Lucky rounded out the Top Five with 4.4MM on a 43 percent drop. RUSSELL BRAND married his partner Laura Gallacher in a ceremony near Henley-on-Thames on Saturday. TOBE HOOPER, best known for directing The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and “directing" Poltergeist, died Saturday. He was 74. AS HURRICANE HARVEY APPROACHED, a hawk got into a taxi cab and refused to leave. WHAT 35 INCHES OF RAIN DREDGES UP: Hurricane Harvey's unusual path could hit Houston with rain and storm surges at the same time-surfacing gators, snakes, sewage, and coffins. I'll be back tomorrow, with a more typical selection.
