Box Office Report: June 16, 2025 'Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning' surpasses $500 Million
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: THE FINAL RECKONING from PARAMOUNT pictures (2025). This is the 8th and final installment with Tom Cruise.
Critics say it won't make any money back. Well.... As of June 15, 2025. It has grabbed $507,069,530 million at the worldwide box office. It has surpassed the production budget of $400 million. Critics also say that the budget was even higher with the marketing of the film. Tack on the extra $107 million and MI8 will still make cash at the foreign box office. (Summer just got started).

NBC 'America's Got Talent' is underway 2025
AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC (2025). I revisited AGT after a few years away. The 3rd week begins this Tuesday with more auditions. There have been changes since the last time I watched. It takes 15 weeks to go through all of the auditions. Then, the Live shows begin leading up to the final. America "votes" for each talent act during the Live shows, the semi-finals and the final. The winner receives $1 million dollars and a Las Vegas act.
There are no more trips to Las Vegas after the auditions where many talent acts fall under the pressure. The judges cuts have also been eliminated. The "wild-card" segment is also terminated where a judge brings back a talent act for a second chance. Now, it appears online voters can choose a wild card act to move forward.
There is also a Golden Buzzer that sends the talent directly to the Live shows. Each judge and host get one Golden Buzzer.
I've watched the first two weeks of this season 2025. I've chosen two acts that have been voted through after their auditions.
Below is performer Micah Palace who had great energy.

IMO - She waited to ambush him. I think she was the only daughter with many brothers. They called her a spoiled princess who always got what she wanted. She carried it into adulthood and if she didn't get what she wanted. She actually pulled a gun.

Computer Virus worked its way in to my Blog.!!
Hello Everyone -- I caught a computer Virus sneaking through my favorite, "Bugs Bunny" cartoon network page. I grabbed it early enough "not" to damage my Chrome book laptop. For some reason.... The "Gifs" I use from "Giphy" froze on my Blog. It may not affect your Computer-Laptop-iPhone. I have to take them down. It will take some time because I posted a lot. I need to make sure the virus didn't attach to any "Gif."
I may use pictures and posters from now on.
Please be patient. I will still run this Blog each week 2025.
Thanks for stopping by.
