SHURA isn't typically my bag but the video for "What's it Gonna Be?" explicitly works the John Hughes vibe. Plus, it's the day after Ferris Buelle's Day Off. CAR SEAT HEADREST performed live for WXPN's 16th annual Non-COMMvention. MOON HOOCH advance streams Red Sky. BRANDY CLARK advances streams Big Day In A Small Town. ![](http://claudepate.com/albums/Graphics/posiesiamthecosmos.jpg)

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows tops the chart with 35.2MM...but that's only a little more than half of the 2014 reboot's opening take against a 135MM budget. Even the 69.25MM worldwide total isn't looking too great here. X-Men: Apocalypse places with 22.3MM...but that's a 66 percent drop from its opening. Overseas grosses may be needed to keep the franchise going...and crossing the 400MM mark worldwide suggest they may just make it. Me Before You shows with 18.3MM which means the teen tearjerker may see profit on the big screen, if the marketing costs were reasonable. Alice Through The Looking Glass takes the fourth slot on a nasty 60 percent drop in its second weekend. Oof. The Angry Birds Movie rounds out the Top Five with 9.8MM on a 48 percent drop and part of the overall pattern of bad holds this weekend.

JACK BLACK: Reports of his death were greatly exaggerated. STAR WARS ROGUE ONE: An explainer on the much-commented-upon reshoots.

ANTHONY HOPKINS joins the cast of Transformers 5, in case you were wondering how picky he is these days. D-DAY: The anniversary of the invasion of Normandy is marked with five essential stories and some color footage.

IRAQ: A 17-month U.S. effort to retrain and reunify Iraq's regular army has failed to create a large number of effective Iraqi combat units or limit the power of sectarian militias, according to current and former U.S. military and civilian officials.

Now Islamic State militants appear to be targeting another staple for residents there: satellite television. IRANIAN students threw a graduation dance party. It cost them 99 lashes each. Less than footloose. Iran remained the leading state sponsor of terrorism despite sealing a nuclear deal with world powers, the State Department said in its annual survey of worldwide terrorism released Thursday. ![](http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o642/claudepateblog/cheetahgopro_zpskvlktdp3.jpg)
