Weekend at the Box Office
Pixar‘s “Inside Out 2” has electrified the box office again, scoring a sensational $100 million in its second weekend of release. Ticket sales declined just 35% from its mighty $154 million debut, resulting in the seventh-biggest sophomore outing in history and best ever for an animated film.
The only movies with bigger second weekends were billion-dollar behemoths “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” ($149 million), “Avengers: Endgame” ($147 million) and “Infinity War” ($114 million), “Black Panther” ($111 million), “Jurassic World” ($106 million) and “The Avengers” ($103 million).
2. Bad Boys: Ride or Die $19 Million
3. The Bikeriders $10 Million
4. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes $3.6 Million
5. The Garfield Movie $3.6 Million

You can get away with ANYTHING in your 20s . . . in your 30s, your body starts barking . . . in your early 40s, you start realizing some things will never quite work like they used to . . . and then at 45, you suddenly feel 57.
The average American over 45 feels 12 years older than their actual age and the biggest reason for that is JOINT PAIN.
The other common complaints include: General body aches . . . getting tired easily . . . and feeling less active. Knee pain is also a big one.
And that notion of feeling older than you are never really goes away. The average Gen X'er feels 10 years older . . . Boomers feel 14 years older . . . and the "Silent Generation" feels 12 years older.

It's a report from the worst study in the world.
There's a new study out of China that says that the single most important contributor to healthy aging and longevity is "mental well-being" and there's also a "strong connection to cheese consumption."
Before you get too excited, there definitely isn't a direct connection between chowing down on Cheez-Its and eternal life.
Here's their logic: To live longer you need a happy mental well-being and those who reported the most robust levels of mental health and stress resilience seemed to eat more cheese and fruit.
