Lancelot Link Monday: Jimmy Dean Sausage Is Made Of Ground Hogs!

Lancelot Link Monday! I have no idea what the percentages are, but many people who watched the Superbowl yesterday were only interested in the movie trailers, and many people were only interested in the adverts. Is there any other sporting event that attracts people who don't really care about watching the game? While you're thinking about that, here are this week's links to some great screenwriting and film articles, plus some fun stuff that may be of interest to you. Brought to you by that suave and sophisticated secret agent...




Here are a dozen links plus this week's car chase...


1) Weekend Box Office Estimates:
1 Jumanji ....................... $11,000,000
2 Maze Runner .................... $10,200,000
3 Winchester ...................... $9,250,000
4 Showman ......................... $7,800,000
5 Hostiles ........................ $5,523,000
6 Post ............................ $5,200,000
7 12 Strong ....................... $4,710,000
8 Den Of Thieves .................. $4,687,000
9 Shape Of Water .................. $4,300,000
10 Paddington ...................... $3,110,000


Note: GREATEST SHOWMAN was considered dead on arrival... but has managed to stick around in the Top 5 long enough to become a sleeper hit with $137.5 million and the lowest drop from last week in the Top 10. Instead of playing out, it is still finding an audience every week.

2) Marvel's BLACK PANTHER... starring Wesley Snipes?

3) Audiences Burned Out On Superhero Movies!

4) SOLO Trailer - a whole film about those red disposable kegger cups?



5) MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT trailer... dang! I should have had the book finished *today*!



6) DGA Award Winners.

7) PASSION OF THE CHRIST PART 2: THE REVENGE?

8) SKYSCRAPER Trailer... it's DIE HARD in a very tall building!



9) Writing THE SHINING by Diane Johnson.

10) 2017 Spec Script Sales List.

11) Film Dumping Is Alive And Well.

12 JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM trailer...
