Ghostbusters #1 Movie

Here we are... life in a pandemic. Stores are closed, people work from home, there's no sports, people should wear masks, idiot argue that wearing a mask is oppression, and my usual lifestyle of hanging out at home playing video games is really paying off.

But also, movie theatres are closed and there are no new movie releases. So that's why it's very interesting to see what movies are topping the box office charts (at least in North America) lately. Some places allow theatres to be open, but not many. And with there being no new movies, these theatres are relying on classic movies. So this past weekend (according to this article), for the 11th time, Ghostbusters was the top grossing movie. The first 10 times was back in 1984... a small gap of 36 years. Similarly, the past few weekends, Jurrassic Park was the top movie.

Imagine saying that at the beginning of the year without any context. Strange times these are.
