Today's UPDATES

It has been a fight for the survival in both the NBA and NHL Playoffs, but no team has player harder and worked harder than the Cleveland Cavaliers, here's a Max Sports rundown to explain. The Cavs were in a back-and-forth battle with the Indiana Pacers which concukled in Game Seven yesterday that was also the last game in the NBA Playoffs first round. The Pacers, surprisingly enough won the first game in their series against the the Cavs, but LeBron James has been able to get his team back in it every step of the way, despite losing three games to the Pacers, one of which could have won them the series. The Pacers, on the other hand, had been led by Victor Oladipo who had gotten two double-doubles and recorded a playoff field goal percentage of .417, a 3-point field goal percentage of .404, and was a 22.7 points per game. For LeBron, he hits a game winning 3 at the buzzer in Game Five to put the Cavaliers up 3–2, it was the fourth time James had hit a game-winning buzzer beater in the playoffs, he also won his fifth Game Seven in his career, which is good for anyone who enjoys playing winner-take-all matches. So now with the Cavaliers' first round series victory, they face a new challenge against the Toronto Raptors in the second round, and understand this face, other than the Cavs, the remaining teams left in the Eastern Conference Playoffs are from the Atlantic Division, that means that the Raptors, Cletics and Sixers have done well so far, and there's a 75% chance that the East Champion that goes to the NBA Finals will be from the Atlantic. More playoff action is on the way this week, as I presumed, see the latest update on each matchup from this past weekend.

For those who watched Marvel Studios' Avengers: Infinity War this past weekend (like me) you are now apart of history, and everything you need to know is available in today's #TwitterTrend. The film will officially break the record for the biggest worldwide opening weekend with an estimate total of of $630 million,enough to beat The Fate of the Furious' $542 million. But the record we have all kept our eyes on is the one for the biggest domestic opening weekend, and you can bet you sweet bottom that Infinity War got that one in the bag with a total of $250 million, which will be more than enough to beat out Star Wars; The Force Awakens's $248 million. I felt that it was a good idea to get out of the house and see Infinity War, because then I could be part of another piece of history; another record broken if you well, the film has the Biggest Saturday gross with $83 million. After seeing the film once in theaters, some are wondering if they should even it again twice, because fans cannot wrap their heads around that surreal ending that took place, I will not say what exactly happen due to spoilers (#ThanosDemandsYourSilence), but I can say it was much more surreal than ending to Thor: Ragnarok. Fans continue reflect on watching Infinity War more than once, and some believe that One viewing may not be good enough, so to those who want to see it again, I say good luck, 'cause you're gonna need it. To this this into better perspective, here are a ton of tweets regarding the box office records and fans' reactions on their experience seeing the Biggest Cinematic Event of all time.

#AvengersInfinityWar debuted with an estimated $250M at the domestic box office, surpassing #StarWarsTheForceAwakens for the best domestic opening weekend ever. More soon!

Adam B. Vary @adambvary

#AvengersInfinityWar just destroyed global box office records, with $630M worldwide. THAT'S SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS IN ONE WEEKEND.

Adam B. Vary @adambvary

One final chart: #InfinityWar has already made more in one weekend than Iron Man 2, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Thor, Captain America, or The Incredible Hulk earned in their entire global box office runs.

Sam Jones @Sam_ba_jones97

#infinitywar broke the global box office record for opening weekend?

I'm honestly not surprised, because I already need to see it 4 more times

Dwayne Johnson @TheRock

Go Superheroes! Congrats AVENGERS @Marvel @Disney on becoming the biggest box office opening of all time. And thank ya fans for your strong desire to see me and ol’ Star-Lord @prattprattpratt on the big screen together. It gave me an idea. Stay tuned 😈

Daniel Spenser @DanSpenser

Grandson: “Tell me about the war, grampa.”

Me: “It grossed a staggering $380M in 52 material markets at the international box office, with $250M domestically and I was there.”

Grandson: “Did you meet Spider-Man?”

Me: “Yes.”

David Cartlidge @davidjaca

A box office dominated by comic book movies. What a time to be alive. If it's got a cape or super power, people will see it. Classic, good old fashioned movie making strangled to death.

Robert “The DCD” Workman @thedcd

This weekend at the box office is an interesting one.

Avengers: Infinity War may have the biggest domestic opening of all time.

A Quiet Place is nearing $150 million and making a name for John Krasinski.

And Black Panther is still in the top five.

Awesome.

Greg Miller @GameOverGreggy

Just saw Infinity War for a second time.

1) That three hours flies by.

2) Love the audible gasps from the audience.

katie @katie88205584

If you’re a true marvel fan you know you HAVE to stay till the end credits, infinity war was so much better the second time round

Jemele Hill @jemelehill

#InfinityWar was even better the second time. Worth it alone for the audience reaction at the end. People were HEATED. Also, traumatized.

Chastity Vicencio @chastity_v

After I watched Infinity War for the first time on Tuesday, I was shaking after I saw it and it was all I could think about for the next couple of days. It’s just as great the second time and easier to process since the initial viewing was so damn nerve wrecking. What a ride.

Susanna Gubbins @_susannagubbins

Infinity War gets more heartbreaking each time I watch it

Abbey Friscø @SanFran_Frisco

I’ve seen Infinity War twice now, everything hit me just as hard the second time. I don’t think the ending will be any less impactful each subsequent time I watch it.

Ash @ashhyra

but fun fact #InfinityWar leaves you a mess of emotions the second time you see it and it’s worse than the first

Doyin Richards @daddydoinwork

It's Friday night and I've already watched #InfinityWar twice. I enjoyed it more the second time around (and I didn't think that was possible). GO WATCH IT, MY PEOPLE.

sara @thisbemesara

i can’t believe i’m gonna watch infinity war again and expect a different ending

#NoExcuses|May 12th @1SoFlo

Who wanna help me steal the time stone from Thanos so we can just make it 2019 and watch Infinity War Part 2?

Last week, Shanghai Disney Resort opened its new Toy Story Land to the public and as the seventh new themed land to open since the the resort was established in 2016. it has made a great addition for Shanghai park goers. At the Toy Story Land Grand Opening last week, Disney CEO Bob Iger welcomed the chinese community to what is a new immersive experience for fans who enjoy watching the Toy Story films made by Disney and Pixar. Oger had made this following statement: “At Disney parks, we extend stories from the world’s favourite franchises and bring them to life in fun and unexpected ways." “We know how special Toy Story is to fans around the world, and we’re thrilled to welcome guests to play in Andy’s backyard at Shanghai Disney Resort.” The land includes many classic rides from other parks that have their own Toy Story Land, such as Rex's Racer: An Intamin Surfrider halfpipe launch coaster, Slinky Dog Spin: A Caterpillar-style ride and Woody's Round-Up: Which is new for Shanghai's Toy Story Land, and it is the same spinner ride system used for Mater's Junkyard Jamboree at Disney California Adventure's Cars Land and for the Alien Swirling Saucers that will open at the Disney Hollywood Studios version of Toy Story Land in Florida. Get ready for the first Web Choice Combo, which offers the viewers of #KlicKNet a gallery of photos and a playlist of videos at the same time, and this is good for anyone wants to see how the Opening of Shanghai's Toy Story Land played out.
