WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Night School tops the chart with 28MM, just shy of its 29MM production cost.

The House With A Clock In Its Walls shows with 12.5MM on a 53 percent drop from its debut; that's the competition from Smallfoot, but at least this one has recouped its production budget already. A Simple Favor lands in fourth with 6.6MM on a fairly leggy 36 percent drop. The Nun rounds out the Top Five with another 5.4MM, notable mostly for beating the debut of Hell Fest, which landed in sixth with 5MM.

THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

...with THE GO-GOs!  They made history as the first all-female band that both wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to top the Billboard album charts. Kind of a hard band to place seasonally. Their debut, Beauty and the Beat, which yielded hits like "Our Lips Are Sealed" and "We Got the Beat," as well as great album cuts like "This Town," "Lust to Love," "Tonite" and "How Much More," came out in late Summer 1981, iirc, and "Lips" was climbing the charts that Fall, so I mentally place the band in this time of year. And it's still warm enough that the title track to the too-quick sophomore album, "Vacation," -- or their cover of the Capitols' "Cool Jerk" -- doesn't sound too out of place. "Get Up and Go" was also a single from that LP, but it didn't make the Top 40.  The band would chart twice more -- in 1984, with "Head Over Heels" and "Turn to You" -- before splitting and the near-inevitable reunion tours.
