WEEKEND AT THE MOVIES

This was my first movie binge weekend in many years.  Before the pandemic, I've seen up to five films in a three-day period.  But in a 26-hour period from Friday night, I actually watched five of them. We are entering the second half of the year, and this weekend is #27.  I'm looking at all the  Box Office Mojo  #1 films of the past 26 weekends, and not one appeals to me. Weeks 24, 25 and 26 were dominated by the animated  Inside Out 2.   Mind you,  Rotten Tomatoes  loved it, with 90 reviewers and 96 audiences ratings.  But it's for kids with their parents. Worldwide Box Office Revenues this year. Inside Out 2   $1.1 billion Dune:  Part 2   $712 million Godzilla x Kong :  The New Empire  $568 million The last films I saw in a movie theater were when  Barbenheimer   opened the weekend of July 21-23 a year ago.  Raked in $511 million worldwide during those days. However, in 2019  Avengers: Endgame  had a world opening weekend of $1.2 billion.  I don't go to comic-book mov
