Man a lot was going on this past weekend. Furious 7 killed the box office after it's release on Friday, April 3rd. Beyonce and Rihanna both released new videos via Tidal. Also #SweetPwussySatyday was jeopardized after Plies encountered a crazed fan on stage. LOLLLL
SoOo first up, the numbers are in and mannn did Furious 7 take off this weekend. The last installment of the Fast and the Furious series broke some serious new records for Universal.
According to The Hollywood Reporter:
Rivaling the staying power of Hollywood's most iconic franchises — think Harry Potter and James Bond — Universal's Furious 7 raced to a $147.2 million debut at the North American box office and an estimated $245.1 million overseas for a massive worldwide launch of $392.3 million, the fourth-best of all time.
The global total came even higher than Sunday's estimates thanks to stronger-than-expected traffic on Easter. On Sunday, the domestic estimate was $143.6 million, while the international estimate was $240.4 million.
Furious 7 — the final film featuring the late Paul Walker — is the second major victory of the year for Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley and her team after Fifty Shades of Grey, which on Good Friday jumped the $400 million mark overseas for a global cume of $566 million through Sunday.
I have yet to see the movie but I have heard awesome things. I will be checking that out this weekend. Heard it has a very emotional ending.
Next up let's ride this new wave with Beyonce and Rihanna. They both dropped new music for Tidal! Beyonce released Die With You, a song to her bae Jay Z for their 7th anniversary! It's a very beautiful ballad. #aww
Rihanna also dropped her new video for her new patriotic song American Oxygen! Taking a more political approach, the video shows unforgettable images in American history.
Rolling Stone writes:
Like its American Dream-grasping lyrics, the "American Oxygen" video similarly gazes inwards towards the nation, resulting in an experience that's the visual equivalent of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." The 1969 moon landing, the Black Power salute at the 1968 Summer Olympics, 9/11, Martin Luther King Jr.'s funeral procession and Beatlemania are among the many historical events that fill the screen.Every link to the video was taken down asap. So you better watch this before it gets taken down.
And finally....Pliesssss! Mr Sweet Pwussy Satday himself went and got himself slam dunked over the weekend. Apparently he and a fan (using the term lightly due to the circumstances LOL) got into an exchange of words and the man was able to pick lil Plies off of his feet and slammed him on his head. #ouch Y'all know Plies is about the size of Tweety bird. Hiw whole security staff needs to be FIREDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!
Damnnnnnn son! So sweet pwussy satday was on hold while Plies got his life and security together !!! HA!
Meanwhile here's footage of the culprit in question and his explanation as to why he had to take Plies for the slam!!
