Midway gets re-booted for the second time and tops this week's box office list. (There was, of course, the 1976 version with Charlton Heston ... and the original in 1942, which most people think is superior because it had real effects, plus John Ford as director and cameraman.) One animated feature clings to the bottom rung of the Top Ten, slowly edging closer to $100 million in domestic grosses.

On other animated fronts, The Lion King 2019 (second animated version masquerading as a "live action" feature) has grossed $1,655,125,301 worldwide. It now makes its money in other distribution channels.
* Multi-Academy Award winner J. Ford did, in fact, film the actual battle of Midway, and got wounded for his efforts. He later won an Academy Award for the resulting documentary made from his footage.
