My utmost sincere apologizes ...

Ok, so the letter is a little late this week.  Last weekend, TMNT narrowly took the top spot from the Guardians.  However, all the new entries came in with the usual box office totals of a typical opening weekend in August movie release.  Let's Be Cops led the way with $17 followed by The Expendables 3 and The Giver.  Up next, or opened last night are a Sin City sequel, a slammed by the critics YA novel turned movie, and another inspiration football movie where winning is not the center but being the first to lose in 150 games or that is what I got from the trailer, ouch.

The movies picked have all been released. The standings have been finalized.  The last movie Jessabelle has decided to move their release date back to November.  This means that Chuck received a nice little boost with picking Guardians as their first alternate.  In the standings the, he managed to move up to 5th in the Blockbusters!

Once again there was no change in The Others.  Despite every movie not opening big, it looks like what came out earlier in the summer is dictating the standings.  Opening this week is Love is Strange.

John Hammond:  All major theme parks have delays.  When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked!

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but, John, if The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.
