Notable Box Office Stories:
-
Once again Disney is the king of the box office as The Jungle Book trounced all competition leaving plenty of room for the next big Disney film to take its place. The live-action remake brought in a fantastic $42.4 mil on its third weekend, a drop of only 31% from last week. The film is well on its way to becoming the fourth film this year to pass $300 mil domestic (currently at $252 mil) and has already passed $600 mil worldwide. While Captain America: Civil War will easy take its number one spot next week, I don't think Disney minds getting beaten by itself.

Two new comedies premiered this week to similar results. First up is Keanu, the first feature film from TV/YouTube sketch stars Key and Peele which managed an okay but not great #3 take with $9.3 mil. It seems the duo's ability to fire up the internet and not bring in the crowds continues as the $15 mil film did not open above even $10 mil and with a B Cinemascore the film may struggle to keep hold of its audience. While that's a fine take for a small budget film like this, it certainly isn't the massive premiere the duo may have hoped for their new film careers. This seems to follow a pattern for the duo as their YouTube videos continued to climb in popularity yet their show's ratings dwindled and never topped 2 mil post premiere. It could be the general public mainly views Key & Peele as a streaming property which could mean most of Keanu's money and attention will come on the backend of its release.

The other new not-super successful comedy this week was the latest in the Garry Marshall "Day Trilogy", Mother's Day. Clearly Marshall was chasing the surprising $110 mil success of Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve, but at #4 with $8.3 mil this may be Marshall's last attempt at this formula. It almost seemed Marshall was planning on the film doing worse than its predecessor as the film's budget was half the other two at $25 mil. That number also means less big stars which will likely mean the film won't repeat the $80 mil+ foreign take that made New
I canβt believe this series is gonna turn 20 years old this year, thatβs just crazy to me for some reason-
Do you like them? Should I get them? I did play the first two Jaks but that was a long time ago.
Itβs on sale right now, and Iβm trying to justify my new PS5 purchase with some PS5 targeted games. Iβve just never played one and so I donβt know how it would be like, story wise, or if the gameplay has a nostalgic attachment to it, at all.
Other suggestions are great, as Iβve not played many PlayStation games and franchises. Always been a PC Gamer.
Got Demon Souls, and I want to like it but it seems WAY too grindy.
100%ed Spider-Man remastered and Miles Morales. And Astros Playroom.
Got Ghost of Tsushima directors cut and Last of Us Part 2 (I surprisingly did play the first).
I plan to play God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Final Fantasy VII Intergrade on PC.
Thanks so much!
What are your thoughts about the duo's stance on killing throughout the series?

(SPOILERS FOR THE FINAL FIGHT IN THE VIDEO) https://youtu.be/7UpC2hsqrE0
Hello everyone. This is a clip of me finishing a challenge run of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
The rules are simple, I'm only allowed to use only wrench/hammer (melee). Start a new save in the hardest difficulty (renegade leader) and finish it.
The clip shows proof of this at the end, showing that I only have the two starting weapons and both of them level 1 with empty EXP bar as proof.
This challenge was probably one of the most difficult ones I've done for this game because the game was clearly not programmed for this but it is possible to complete it in this way.
Some of the highlights and most difficulty areas are:
-One of the pirate fight before fixing the Fixer: they have shields and you have to kite them a lot, plus many smaller bladed enemies chase you.
-Skeleton goon/dinosaur boss fight at the end of the catacombs: this one is probably the hardest moment of the run for me. This fight was incredibly difficult with all the monsters spawning on top of the boss.
-Nefarious imperial suit: this boss fight was clearly NOT designed with short range in mind. Hitting the arms and face with the short range of thrown melee is just a pain as you have to wait for one of the attack patterns, most of the time, in order to land hits. Not particularly difficult to do but extremely time consuming and tedious.
Ironically, the final boss is way too easy to defeat with melee only since melee seems to do %damage in my experience. I suspect it's programmed with lots of health or resistance to other weapons but since melee does percentile damage it's actually quite easier and faster to just hammer him!
If you have any questions just leave a comment!
Only have a laptop though, and unfortunately can't play my favs (Ratchet for example).
I've got an Asus Vivobook
16Gb RAM, 512 VRAM, AMD Ryzen 4500U 6 cores.
DDR4 1333 as far as I'm aware though.

I have to also note that I adore the aesthetic of CS 1.6, it feels so lonely, and absolutely surreal. It's the moment when you were 5 years old at your uncle's computer, or at the office with your mom, in a world that smelled of your old cat, his cat food, Russian carpet, construction work, strange paint smell in the air, the oddly satisfying smells of the early 2000s office spaces, unrelated to work, like just pure bliss, no obligations no nothing. Gladly I've never been in an office for any type of work, so I very vaguely have only great memories of it from childhood. It's this vibe of complete freedom, that allowed for zen focus, and immersion in these weird worlds. The dust, the aztec temples (SA1, CS1.6), the cs chateau, cs_office, the tropical vibes of ratchet up your arsenal + size matters, the fear of the monsters, and the seeming magnitude/depth/lore/life of those places. the blend of hi-tech, really cute aliens, ancient artefacts and all of the above. All that was also mixed in for me with games such as (PS2) BLACK, Burnout, NFSU2, (PC) Worms, Solitaire, Sonic Adventure, (PSP) Pirates of the Caribbean, R&C Size Matters, Loco Rocco, etc.
I've got terrible focus, and have a hard time playing a game without feeling like it's actively making me lose my job, and making me homeless. But shit, I really want to play a game, and I'm not even at the risk of any of that bullshit. Any tips on that?
I mean I get it. I like the brutally hard games like Bloodborne and Dark Souls, and I was struggling there for a while. But once I bit down on something and pushed through it became something very special.
Just wanted to voice my admiration for this game. I hope they sold enough that it gets a sequel.
I haven't finished yet, only just beat the fourth boss, so no spoilers please.
Side note, Girlfriend Reviews claimed her boyfriend beat the game in twenty eight runs it something ridiculous like that!!!??? If that's true then massive props. I'm on sixty six lol.
