'Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes' Tops Box Office For Second-Straight Week
NEW YORK (AP) — The summer box office continued to lack mojo, as the R-rated "Sex Tape" failed to turn on moviegoers on a weekend where "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" maintained its rule.
20th Century Fox's science fiction sequel outmuscled a trio of new films to top the North American box office for the second-straight week with $36 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The acclaimed sequel to 2011's reboot of the chimp franchise has now made $139 million domestically in two weeks. Its closest completion over the weekend was the home-invasion horror thriller "The Purge: Anarchy," written and directed by James DeMoncaco. Universal's low-budget sequel to last year's surprise hit, "The Purge," opened with $28.4 million, down from the $34.1 million the original scared up on opening weekend.
Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, though, noted the stronger competition this time around and the overall "depressed" business at movie theaters. Weekend revenue was down 24 percent from the same weekend last year, continuing a cold summer for Hollywood that's more than 20 percent off the pace of summer of 2013.
But "Anarchy," which imagines an America where all crime is legal for 12 hours every year, was made for only $9 million, making it immediately profitable for Universal. Such success is the envy of most movies, particularly Sony's "Sex Tape," a starrier, more expensive release that opened with $15 million.
The Jason Segel, Cameron Diaz R-rated comedy failed to turn on moviegoers or critics. "Sex Tape," in which a married couple makes a pornographic home video to stoke the flames of their lagging sex life, came in fourth place behind Disney's "Planes: Fire & Rescue." The animated sequel to 2013's "Cars"-offshoot, "Planes," opened with $18 million.
"It was kind of a middling weekend unless you were the top film," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. Dergarabedian looks ahead optimistically to upcoming releases "Lucy," starring Scarlett Johansson, and the Marvel space film "Guardians of the Galaxy," of which he noted: "A lot of pressure is being put on that movie. It may be the last big summer blockbuster."
But as July turns to August, Hollywood's summer is certain to be a down one.
In a limited release of 68 theaters, Zach Braff's crowd-funded "Wish I Was Here" also arrived with a tiny weekend opening of $495,000 for Focus Features. The film, Braff's directorial follow-up to 2004's "Garden State," was much criticized for depending on fan contributions for funding. "Wish I Was Here" will expand to more theaters next week, but it is sure to fall far short of the $26.8 million "Garden State" earned.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released on Monday.
1. "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," $36 million.
2. "The Purge: Anarchy," $28.4 million.
3. "Planes: Fire & Rescue," $18 million.
4. "Sex Tape," $15 million.
5. "Transformers: Age of Extinction," $10 million.
6. "Tammy," $7.6 million.
7. "22 Jump Street," $4.7 million.
8. "How to Train Your Dragon 2," $3.8 million.
9. "Maleficent," $3.3 million.
10. "Earth to Echo," $3.3 million.

Adam Levine Marries Behati Prinsloo In Front Of Robert Downey Jr., Others
Adam Levine, alleged Sexiest Man Alive and person who knows you think he's a douchebag, is now married to Behati Prinsloo. According to People, the couple tied the knot in Mexico on Saturday night, July 19th, in front of an intimate group of approximately 275 guests, which included Robert Downey Jr.
Levine, 35, and Prinsloo, 25, got engaged in June of 2013 after dating for a year. While preparing for their wedding, Levine spoke openly about being ready to settle down. "I definitely feel like I'm sitting in the chair I'm supposed to be sitting in right now," he told People. "It all feels very natural."
E! News reports that Levine "looked dapper in a fitted tux," while Prinsloo wore a white Marchesa gown. The couple, who is headed to South America for their honeymoon, received no gifts from Robert Downey Jr. or anyone else, having requested that guests donate to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
There is no report as to whether "She Will be Loved" was played on infinite loop at the reception, but it probably was.

Paired with a neat stop motion video, Weird Al jabs at people's celebrity obsession, pointing out that standing behind Steven Seagal in the checkout line, or using the bathroom stall next to Jonah Hill doesn't make one friends. He even gets a little meta when he makes a reference to the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. The song is written in the style of Southern Culture on the Skids.

Alcoholism and drug addiction are curable diseases
Notes from Indian Country:
By Tim Giago (Nanwica Kciji)
A body is found behind the ice cream parlor on W. Main Street, just around the corner from the office of the Native Sun News and the first thing that goes through the minds of all of our employees as they report to work and see the yellow tape roping off the area is: I wonder if it is an Indian?
Yes, it was and it happened to be the son of a longtime friend of mine who passed away several years ago from complications of diabetes. His name was Myron Rock and the body they found was that of his son Myron Rock, Jr. And the man accused of killing him was also Lakota.
Ninety-five percent of the more than 20,000 Native Americans living off the reservation in Rapid City are hard-working and law abiding citizens. It deeply wounds all of us when things like this happens because it is a reflection upon all of us as Native Americans and we know that the average white citizen of Rapid City think that most of us are of the same caliber. We don't know the circumstances of the killing. We only know that Mr. Rock was beaten to death and that alcohol was a contributing factor.
But it seems to us that these terrible happenings are occurring with much more frequency. Indians are involved in street fights, stabbings, homicidal car accidents that involve drunken drivers and deadly domestic violence that reflect poorly upon all of the Lakota people residing in Rapid City.
The number one contributor to nearly all of these gruesome and deadly events is alcohol and drugs.
The Pine Ridge Reservation recently held an election to determine whether the sale of alcohol should be approved on the reservation. The majority of voters said "YES." We wonder if the consequences would be similar to what we are now seeing in Rapid City where alcohol is readily available. That is a hard question to answer because although the sale of alcohol on the Pine Ridge Reservation has been restricted, the incidence of alcohol related auto accidents and domestic violence due to the consumption of alcohol are still far above the average simply because those choosing to indulge in the consumption of alcohol and drugs can find these products readily available on and off of the reservation.
It all comes down to the point that it is the individual Native American who must take the responsibility of not consuming alcohol or using drugs. For years my newspapers have been editorializing that a massive influx of money must be available to the health providers to create a cadre of trained professionals to attack this deadly problem from the ground up. There is no other solution. The consumption of alcohol and the use of drugs is a disease and it must be attacked as a disease. Locking Native Americans up in jails and prisons does not cure the problem, but may even contribute to it. One does not cure a disease by locking up the sick person. One cures a disease by going to the root of the problem and finding a cure for it.
There have been many good Lakota who saw this problem as a disease and attempted to cure it; people like Melvin "Dickie" Brewer and Glen Three Stars fought it with all of their might, but it seems they could never secure the adequate funding to give it the all-out effort needed to kill the disease. They only got crumbs to fight it with and you can't cure an ingrained disease with crumbs.
And so once more we turn to the Indian Health Service and to the President of the United States himself to please, please send your experts out to Indian Country and give them the tools to cure the disease (alcoholism and drug addiction) that are the number one destroyers of Native Americans. With a massive effort, the job can be accomplished.
We are sick and tired of seeing the lives of our friends and family members demolished because of a curable disease. And the criminal actions of those Native Americans addicted to these diseases are a continued embarrassment to all Native Americans. And if alcohol addiction is not genetic to Native Americans I don't know what is.

Wall Street Journal's Facebook Page Hacked
The Wall Street Journal's Facebook page was hacked by an unknown source Sunday morning.
The hacker made false claims that a U.S. Air Force One crash had occurred. The post came on the heels of the Malaysian Airlines plane that was shot down on Thursday, killing all 298 people on board.
A second hacked post said that Vice President Joe Biden was set to address the nation regarding the crash.
The Wall Street Journal eventually deleted the posts and informed its readers that it had been "compromised."
The hacking was reminiscent of a similar incident in April 2013, when the Associated Press' Twitter account was hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army. The tweet claimed that President Obama was injured after two explosions hit the White House. This past December, the Washington Post was also hacked, compromising employee usernames, passwords and other personal information.
