Celebrity Status – Box Office, Home Runs And Elmo On X
For Monday, July 14th:
At the box office, James Gunn’s “Superman” launched with $122 million in North America over the weekend and another $95 million overseas. “Jurassic World Rebirth,” slid to second place with $40 million. In just ten days, it’s amassed $529.5 million worldwide. And “F1”, starring Brad Pitt, came in third.
The 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” was a big draw at SharkCon over the weekend, but one of the stars of the movie, Richard Dreyfuss, had to cancel his appearance due to a bout with viral bronchitis. The National Geographic-sponsored event gathers marine biologists, shark enthusiasts and others dedicated to raising awareness about shark and ocean conservation.
And Elmo‘s social media was hacked. The X account belonging to Elmo appeared to be hacked on Sunday, for about an hour in which a string of very un-Elmo-like things were posted. By Sunday evening Elmo was back to his lovely self, posting about his dog Tango.
And Major League Baseball has the Home Run Derby on Sportsnet tonight ahead of tomorrow’s All-Star Game
