WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Top Gun: Maverick has beaten Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End fair and square for the Memorial Day opening 4-day record (+ previews) at the domestic box office with 156MM, easily Tom Cruise's best opening of all-time.

He was 84. BIRD vs CAT: Who You Got? FAMILY Get-Together. RESCUING A BABY COW stuck underground. AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT: An Albino Alligator.
