WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Secret Life of Pets blew away all competition, topping the chart with 103.2MM, which is mightily impressive for a new property (compare with Pixar's Inside Out, which opened ~90MM).  People like funny animals.  The Legend of Tarzan placed with 20.6MM; that 47 percent drop would look good if it didn't have an 81.4MM domestic total against a 180MM production budget.  Finding Dory shows with 20.4MM, off a decent 51 percent, given the stampeding PetsMike and Dave Need Wedding Dates debuted in the fourth slot with 16.6MM, which isn't exactly bad against a 33MM production budget, but a continuation of a lagging year for comedies. Can folks really be waiting for the Ghostbusters reboot?   The Purge: Election Year rounded out the Top Five with 11.7MM on a 63 percent drop typical of this frannchise.

IRAN's proliferation activities span eight German states and involve a range of activities to advance its chemical and biological warfare capabilities, as well as its nuclear and missile programs.
