Today's UPDATES

Well it looks like there's a lot to celebrate on this Memorial Day, but so much for the Boston Celtics having great home court advantage as that would not stop LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers from securing another trip to the NBA Finals last night. This Max Sports rundown cover everything that went down last night, first if all it wasn't a high scoring game because both teams played some of the best defense we have ever seen in the NBA Playoffs. Listen to this, the Celtics had the lead for nearly the entirely the first half of Game Seven, until the Cavaliers found a way ti fight back as they have done all season long. The score by the end of the first quarter was 28-16 Celtics, then in the second quarter, they were outscored by the Cavaliers 21-17, and again in the third quarter 20-13. Once in the fourth quarter, the score was 59-56 and this was where things got really interesting because no one reach the 90-100 point mark in this last quarter which was dominated by total defense, but it was the defense of the Cavaliers that achieved victory. With Game Seven ending a 87-79 win for the Cavs, they will now take their fourth consecutive trip to the NBA Finals and LeBron James will extend his streak of appearances as soon we will play in his eight consecutive finals. The King got himself another double-double which could have been triple if he had made one more assists, but still LeBron James got 35 points and and 15 rebounds and by the end of the game, he showed his respect to the Celtics, and especially Jayson Tatum who put up 24 points for his team. So now the Cavs wait to see where they are headed for the NBA Finals as they will not have home court advantage, that will go to the winner of tonight's Game 7 between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets who have reached the climax of their epic Western Conference Finals showdown, and to be honest, I would really like to see the latter of the two teams come out on top tonight. Here's a fresh and new update on the NBA Conference Finals and tonight's anticipated Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Avengers: Infinity War is still making box office history with the nineteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe reaching now $1.9 Billion dollars, and it could be on its way to the $2 Billion dollar mark in the coming weeks. The good news for them is that during the Memorial Day weekend, Solo: A Star Wars Story sucked at the box office, today's #TwitterTrend covers everything that Star Wars fans need to know. According to ComScore, the film opened to a lackluster $83.3 million dollars domestically for the 3-day portion of the holiday weekend, I guess it not all surprising that this spin-off centered around a younger verison of Han Solo would open below expectations with such a franchise-low in North America. The film also grossed just $65 million internationally including $10.1 million dollars in China, and if you add that to the $83 million in North America, Solo has gotten about a total worldwide gross of $148.3 million dollars at the box office. You don't have to be a Star Wars fan to know how bad Solo has done with gaining financial support, some die hard Star Wars fans had supported film and had high hopes that it would a little more of a modest performance, but it looks they they were completely wrong about that idea. So what are tweeters saying about Solo doing terrible at the box office, you won't believe your eyes when you see these.

"Solo" lacks the Force of other "Star Wars" offerings as it opens to lackluster sales

The Force Awakens:

Female lead, $247M opening weekend

Rogue One: Female lead, $155M opening weekend

The Last Jedi: Female lead, $220M opening weekend

Solo: Male lead, $83M opening weekend (3-day)

Thus, the obvious conclusion:

LEIA: A Star Wars Story, December 2020

Dan Murrell @MurrellDan

Looks like Solo will come close to having the lowest global debut of any live action Star Wars movie since worldwide openings became common (post-2000). This includes Episode II and III. Global debut around $148 mil is about 1/2 of what Deadpool 2 did last week

I keep seeing "but is this movie necessary?" in regard to Solo. I'm sorry, what? Is any movie "necessary"? Is Clerks necessary? Is Seven? Is Meet the Fockers?

You know what.... ppl just arent interested in a Han Solo prequel film, clearly

When “Boba Fett: A Star Wars Story” bombs at the box office ...people just don’t care about a young Boba Fett movie.

Rogue One was new, exciting, fresh, perhaps all non-Skywalker films should be

FBI spy Sean Kent @seankent

Theory about why #SoloAStarWarsStory is doing badly at the box office. #TheLastJedi left such bad taste in the faithful’s mouth that they’re punishing Solo for it.

Gillian Horvath @GillianHorvath

I don't understand why#Solo isn't kicking it at the box office. Such a fun movie. I mean, even if you're not already into Star Wars, who doesn't like hot rods and heists?

Steven Weintraub @colliderfrosty

think the 'Solo' box office would have been stronger had it opened in December. Disney has shown Star Wars movies in December can make tons of $. While 'Star Wars' is popular, it's not Marvel, which could release a movie every 3 months and make crazy money.

People are extremely hyped this summer for the new additions coming to Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California and Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. This mostly because that this year has been take over but the wonder characters of Pixar films, on June 15th is the long awaited return of a certain superhero family. Disney/Pixar's The Incredibles 2 comes a week before Pixar Pier opens at Disney California Adventure with the progress that new themed land has been going along great in the past couple weeks. Meanwhile, the eleven acres Toy Story land has about a month to prepare for it opens to the public on June 30th, I sometimes wish that I could live in California or in Orlando because I want to try and experience these new lands first hands, but I can only hope that one day my family will even have enough money to go to Disneyland or Walt Disney World before it's too late. In the meantime, we repeat yesterday's look into Pixar Pier with another video, and in addition to that, today's Web Choice playlist has many Disney fanatics on YouTube who share their perspective on what's to come for Disney Parks everywhere.
