‘Fantastic Beasts 3’ & ‘Sonic 2’ Near $300M Global, ‘The Lost City’ Tops $100M – International Box Office – Deadline

UPDATE, writethru: Warner Bros’ Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore crossed the $200M mark at the international box office this weekend, holding the top overseas position for the third frame in a row. The offshore session added $38.3M in 67 markets for a running total of $213.2M with worldwide at $280.3M. As noted last weekend, and as evidenced by the big North American drop, the FB franchise is more of an international property and had a good hold of -44% overseas this weekend. Still, it’s running behind the previous movies in the series. The threequel is performing best in the typical Harry Potter markets, though notably not leading with the UK where it should be doing better. The top hubs to date are Germany ($23.3M), Japan ($22.3M), UK ($21.7M), China ($17.5M) and Fr...

Bucatini all’Amatriciana Recipe

A Classic Roman Dish - Bucatini all'Amatriciana Like many of you, Meg and I watched the Stanley Tucci special on CNN called Searching for Italy. In the Rome episode, he has lunch at Armando Al Pantheon to enjoy their famous rigatoni all'amatriciana, one of Rome's famous pastas. I made it a little different and call it bucatini all'Amatriciana. Of course I had to run out and buy the ingredients so we could make it at home. Not a lot of ingredients and very simple to prepare and absolutely delicious. Let's look at some of the ingredients. Bucatini Bucatini is a pasta that looks a lot like spaghetti but it is thicker and has a whole running down through the strand. My kids like to say it looks like a straw made out of pasta.  If you lived in Naples, Italy, you would call...
