LOS ANGELES - The “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” remained in top spot at the North American box office this weekend, outmuscling the latest installment of Sylvester Stallone’s geriatric “Expendables” action-hero franchise, estimates showed Sunday. Expendables” saga. The third movie in the light-hearted action romp took just $16.2 million on its opening weekend to finish in fourth. The first two films in “The Expendables” series had taken $34.8 million and $28.6 million in their opening weekends, suggesting that interest in the franchise, which groups together a galaxy of action stars including Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wesley Snipes, Jet Li, Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford, is firmly on the wane.

Turbulent weather disaster movie “Into The Storm” was in sixth place with $7.7 million while “The Hundred Foot Journey,” a romantic comedy with Helen Mirren and Om Puri as culture-clashing restaurateurs, was seventh with $7.1 million.

The famous pizza-munching turtles, on a mission to save New York from diabolical evil-doers plotting to unleash a virus across the city, raked in $28.4 million in their second weekend in theaters, box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations reported. The turtles remained just ahead of Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” in second place, the critically acclaimed sciencefiction superhero romp which added another $24.7 million to its three-week haul of $222.3 million. Third spot was taken by raunchy adult comedy “Let’s Be Cops,” starring Damon Wayans Jr, about two friends who become entangled in criminal intrigue when they dress up as police officers for a costume party. The film, which has been savaged by overwhelmingly negative reviews, nevertheless took $17.7 million in its opening weekend, meaning the film will turn a profit after costing around $17 million to make.

NEW YORK — Brian Williams didn’t have to look hard for a photo of actress Allison Williams as a toddler in a Peter Pan costume. A framed one has been on display in the den of his family’s Connecticut home for years. The NBC “Nightly News” anchor and proud father said he emailed family members to see if they approved of him reporting on his daughter being cast in the lead role of “Peter Pan.” NBC is airing a new version of the musical live on Dec. 4. Reporting the news was more than a proud papa’s privilege: “Nightly” announced casting for “The Sound of Music” before NBC aired that musical late last year, he said. His report of Allison’s good news played it straight — at least until the end. As a picture of the 26-year-old “Girls” actress as a young girl garbed in green appeared on the screen, Williams said, “Family members confirm she’s been rehearsing for this role since the age of 3, and they’re looking forward to seeing her fly.” “Believe me,” he said later. “I know every word of every song.” Williams insisted that Allison didn’t give him any grief for showing the photo on the air.

GIANYAR - The body of Wu Shiwei (30), that’s been swept away at Selukat Beach, Gianyar, found on Monday. The body was founded at Rangkan Beach and evacuated to Sanglah Hospital in Denpasar. Before, three travelers from China, Wu Shiwei, 30, and his wife Zhou Liping, 29, and Zhan Fan, were swept away by sea currents on Selukat Beach, Keramas village, Blahbatuh, Gianyar, last Saturday (Aug 16) around 4:30 p.m. Two people could be rescued, while another, Wu Shiwei, was not found on Sunday. He had been searched for nearly three hours but was not found to date. One of the local Komune lifeguards, Wayan Yogantara, admitted that his team could not find the victim because the sea currents had been large. “We were only able
to rescue two people,” he said. At that afternoon, the three Chinese travelers bathed on the beach. Before bathing, the lifeguards had banned them. Unfortunately, it was ignored. Even, according to the narrative of local residents, the entourage of Chinese traveler had wanted to rent a surf board for surfing in the morning. However, as the waves were huge and fierce enough, the board owner warned them from doing the activity. Somehow they came again in the afternoon and ignored the ban of bathing. “Not long after entering the beach, they were swept away. Instantly, we took a speed boat to rescue them,” he said. Zhou Liping (Wu Shiwei’s wife) looked to cry. She kept urging the lifeguards to conduct a search. “Please continue to find out my husband, I will pay no matter how much it costs,” said her tourist guide interpreting the request of Zhou Liping.
Since the sea waves were in high tide and on safety consideration, the search was discontinued for a while. Nevertheless, the Regional Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) of Gianyar, National SAR Agency (Basarnas), lifeguard, Red Cross, police and local residents remained to keep track the Selukat Beach, Keramas village. The Head of Gianyar Disaster Mitigation Agency, Anak Agung Gde Oka Digjaya, said the search had been carried out in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). Nevertheless, his party would continue to monitor. On the request of the victim and the entourage, local residents said prayers on Selukat Beach. Meanwhile, the Chinese travelers coming to Bali stayed at Swan Hotel and totally amounted to 26 people. They arrived last Thursday (Aug 14) and scheduled to return to China on Sunday (Aug 17). (kmb16)
