Image
Stephen King wrote “It.” Warner Bros. and New Line made “It.” And audiences seem to love “It.” The new freaky-scary film by that title broke records over the weekend as the largest September opening and largest opening for an R-rated horror film in North American theaters, industry data showed on Monday. “It,” starring Bill Skarsgard as a creepy clown who terrorizes children in a sleepy Maine town, pulled in $123.4 million, industry monitor Exhibitor Relations reported. The movie, from Argentine director Andy Muschietti, comes amid one of the slowest cinematic summers in years — and likely would have done better but for the impact of Hurricane Irma on Florida moviegoers. Coming in second — but left far back in the dust — was another new release, “Home Again” from Open Road Films, with a take of just $8.6 million. The romantic comedy has Reese Witherspoon unexpectedly finding herself living with three young...

According to the President of the group, Alhaji Gambo Gujungu, Buhari has lost the vigour with which he began.   Gujungu said that the alleged corruption case involving the Secretary-General of the Federation, Babachir Lawal and the Director-General of Nigeria Intelligence Agency, NIA, Ayo Oke shows that Buhari’s war against corruption has lost steam.   He also said “Many people voted for this government because of the personality of the President and I believe many of them were not disappointed with the way the government started by hitting the ground running in terms of its anti-corruption crusade.   “However, the vigour with which the President started the war on corruption seems to be losing steam.   “Maybe corruption is fighting back. But President Buhari needs to keep up the steam because the fight is losing steam.” “Take for example the case of the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation, ...
