Last year, Deadpool had the biggest opening weekend in 20th Century Fox history by making $132.4 million in its opening weekend. This past weekend, another superhero film, albeit one with a completely different audience in mind led the box office, as The Lego Batman Movie earned $55.6 million. Fifty Shades Darker was second with $46.8 million, and in third was John Wick: Chapter 2 with $30 million. The Lego Batman Movie is now only one of six animated movies that have opening weekends in the $50 million range. It is already pushing $100 million, and can very well break the $200 million mark. The movie resonates with both parents and their children, and kids are going in full force to the theaters. 3% of Kindergarten through 12th grade students were off of school this weekend, and many were let out early in the Northeast due to snow days. Warner Bros domestic distribution president Jeff Goldstein said “The Lego Movie launched a franchise and Lego Batman is a stand-alone that’s part of this family.
This result shows the immense interest in each of these Lego movies. We have the Lego Ninjago Movie in September, and later on The Lego Movie Sequel. It’s an exciting future for this franchise.” Follow JT on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter AppAll Access Pass With Billy KiddWIN StuffUh-oh, it looks like your Internet Explorer is out of date.

Nevada is the darkly comedic story of Maria Griffiths, a young trans woman living in New York City and trying to stay true to her punk values while working retail. When she finds out her girlfriend has lied to her, the world she thought she'd carefully built for herself begins to unravel, and Maria sets out on a journey that will most certainly change her forever. This debut, the first novel from a new indie press dedicated to publishing transgender narratives, tells the story of Maria Griffiths, a 29-year-old trans woman. When Maria learns that her girlfriend Steph may have cheated, she makes decisions about not only the relationship, but also herself, grappling with her history and identity.
After she’s fired from her Manhattan bookstore job, Maria borrows/steals Steph’s car, buys a bunch of heroin, and hits the road to ponder gender, heteronormativity, and social conditioning, reminding herself that a lifetime of emotional repression does not dissipate at the moment of transition. In Star City, Nev., Maria meets James, a young man questioning his own gender and sexuality, and invites him to accompany her to Reno. Throughout, she indulges in long inner monologues, soliloquies that quickly grow tiresome. There’s something immature about Maria and something pat about her thinking. Neither James nor the reader ultimately stands to learn much from spending time in her company. 06/01/2016Maria Griffiths, a punk trans woman living in Brooklyn, is struggling with her girlfriend and her job. After losing both, she takes a road trip to the West Coast and encounters a teenager questioning his own gender. Written in stream of consciousness style, this novel is wry, hilarious, and smart.

The owners of the house that was featured in the 1979 cult classic "The Amityville Horror" have scared up another price chop for their movie-famous home. Originally listed at $1.45 million last year -- then slashed to $1.35 million -- the home is now going for only $955,000. Clearly, owners Odalys and Jose Fragoso, who bought the Toms River, N.J., colonial in 2001, are keen to get rid of it -- but probably not for the reasons you're thinking.
"My husband and I are getting a divorce," Odalys Fragoso told CNN. "It's not that the house is haunted or anything." The horror movie, filmed at the Odalys' home, was based on the real-life story of the Lutz family, who bought an allegedly haunted house in Amityville, on New York's Long Island, in 1975. Thirteen months before the Lutzes moved in, a man named Ronald DeFeo Jr. had shot and killed six members of his family at the house. According to the Lutzes, they were victim to demonic, paranormal activity inside the home and left after living there for only 28 days. The Odalys' home was used as a double in the horror film, and to this day, dozens of fans continue to show up at the home's doorstep to take pictures and ask questions, according to CNN.
