SCOTT WALKER, one of the most innovative and enduring songwriters of the 20th century, has died aged 76. Walker first came to fame in the mid-1960s in the group the Walker Brothers, before creating a string of acclaimed solo albums – Scott, Scott 2, Scott 3 and Scott 4 – that are regarded as some of the most adventurous and boundary-pushing pop albums of the era. He was pop's great adventurer. Thom Yorke, Boy George, Doug Gillard (GbV), Johnny Marr, Graham Coxon, Sonic Youth and Car Seat headrest were among the many musicians paying tribute. NME lists David Bowie and other artists inflenced by Walker. In fact, here's Bowie coveringWalker's "Nite Flights."

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Jordan Peele's Us tops the chart with 70MM, a record opening for an original horror film, and the third best horror debut ever. It's already a big success, but it will be interesting to see how much it falls next weekend, given pent-up demand for the movie and a mere "B" CinemaScore. Captain Marvel finally slides to No. 2, placing with 35MM on a 49 percent drop that might concern Marvel if not for the fact it's already made 910MM worldwide. Wonder Park shows with 9MM on a 43 percent drop. Five Feet Apart takes the fourth slot with 8.8MM on a 34 percent drop. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World rounds out the Top Five (and likely nears exhaustion) with 6.5MM; the threequel will likely wind up a few million short of the sequel.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Captain Marvel easily repeats atop the chart with 69.3MM on a 55 percent drop; that percentage isn't uncommon for standalone origin stories in the MCU, and it's from a bigger debut than some.It could wind up grossing closer to 400MM domestic and a Billion worlwide as moviegoers gear up for Avengers: Endgame.The debut of Wonder Park places wih 16MM, a bit better than projected but still dodgy against a reported 80MM budget, though Nick is planning to make it a TV series, which may boost the home market. Five Feet Apart shows with13.1MM, again a bit better than expected and just fine against a reported 7MM budget. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World slides 36 percent to the fourth slot with 9.3MM;I'd call that drop leggy, but Tim Burton's Dumbo is coming in a couple of weeks. Tyler Perry's A Madea Family Funeral rounds out the Top Five with 8MM; it may wind up as the second-biggest grosser in the franchise.
