‘Finding Dory’ Scores Record $136.2 Million Opening
LOS ANGELES - Family audiences turned out in droves over the weekend, propelling “Finding Dory” to a massive $136.2 million debut and establishing a new record for an animated film opening. The sequel to 2003’s “Finding Nemo” was bolstered by strong reviews and residual affection for the Oscar-winning first film. It’s a return to form for Pixar after the animation studio behind “Toy Story” and “The Incredibles” suffered its first box office failure last year with “The Good Dinosaur.” But its decades of excellence continue to be the brand’s major selling points. “It’s amazing when you look at the longevity of this brand, the viability of it, and the unfettered enthusiasm pretty much everyone has for Pixar,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at comScore. “Finding Dory” centers on a blue tang fish with short term memory loss (Ellen
DeGeneres) and her quest to be reunited with her long-lost parents. Its opening weekend results sailed past the previous high-water mark for an animated film -- “Shrek the Third’s” $121.6 million launch in 2007 -- and ranks as the second-best June debut, behind “Jurassic World’s” $208.8 million bow. Overseas, “Finding Dory” added another $50 million to its haul from 29 international markets, including Australia, Argentina, Russia and China, where its $17.5 million debut ranks as the biggest ever for a Pixar release. The success of “Finding Dory” comes as Disney, Pixar’s parent company, has dominated the movie business, fielding the year’s three
highest-grossing pictures globally in “Zootopia,” “The Jungle Book” and “Captain America: Civil War.” “Finding Dory” seems destined to join those films among 2016’s top earners, partly because it is appealing to all age groups. Disney distribution chief Dave Hollis predicted that the film was gearing up for a “run for the ages,” noting that it was playing well with both families (65% of ticket buyers) and older audiences, with adults comprising 26% of crowds. “We became a film for everybody,” said Hollis. “We tapped into something really meaningful.” The weekend’s other major newcomer, New Line’s “Central Intelligence,” also resonated with moviegoers, racking up a healthy $34.5 million from 3,508 locations. Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart star in the $50 million action comedy. (rtr)

South China floods kill 22,a with more rain forecast
BEIJING - Severe floods in southern China have killed at least 22 people and left 20 missing since Saturday, the government said, with the rains expected to continue for the next three days. About 200,000 people from eight southern provinces and regions, including Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Zhejiang and Anhui, had been forced to evacuate, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said on its website. Storms had pushed water levels in rivers to dangerous levels, leading to crop damage and the collapse of 10,500 houses, the official Xinhua news agency reported. Estimated economic losses
were 7.34 billion yuan ($1.1 billion), it said. Three days of heavy rain last week had already killed 14 people, Xinhua said on Friday. China has frequently been devastated by natural disasters, particularly by floods and earthquakes. Flooding, an annual problem, has been exacerbated by urban sprawl and poor drainage infrastructure in many cities. Chinese officials had warned of the
potential for record floods this year due to a strong El Nino weather pattern, which warms sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific and has been linked to serious crop damage, forest fires and flash flood and drought around the world.(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

Urbanization results in unequal development DENPASAR-The high rate or urbanization is causing an imbalance in development as economic hubs are formed in tourism centres, and around tradition and night markets. The role of migrants is a factor in the unequal distribution of wealth between urban and rural areas and so some people are suggesting that tighter supervision be conducted and priority be given to locals so that rural areas are given a chance to thrive. Many market merchants are living in slums that are also causing new problems in urban areas. “Existing rules must be applied explicitly and uninhabitable houses must not be allowed to go up. Strict application of administrative and other rules is extremely important” said Udayana University economist, Dr. I Gusti Wayan Murjana Yasa. Urbanization... Continued on page 2
