He will consider promoting Russell and/or Randle again in January, at the conclusion of the Lakers’ seemingly monthlong road trek. That’s how I have confidence out there that I can play at a high level every night. “So that was encouraging”.
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has made $1 billion at a light-weight speed pace.

Even though the Lakers went 2-8 during the stint , Scott is going to stay that course for now. That was a 17 percent increase from the 9.3 million for the Cavaliers-Heat game a year ago .
Biggest second weekend of all-time: Sorry Jurassic World, another one of your records fell. It will be interesting to see how the leak of the film will help or hurt when it goes wide next weekend on 1,800 screens, but certainly, the faithful showed up. It opens there on January 9. It’s still not clear, however, whether Force Awakens can eclipse Avatar’s record global gross of $2.8 billion, although most believe it will easily cross $2 billion worldwide, putting it in the range of 1997’s Titanic, the No. 2 title of all time ($2.19 billion).
N.W.A. To Be Inducted Into Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
Thanks to all the fans who have supported us for all these years and to the Hall of Fame members who cast their votes. All nominated artists had to have put out their first album or single at least 25 years ago to be in consideration.
The power of Jurassic World is insignificant to the power of The Force Awakens.

It’s becoming old hat to recount the various ways that the seventh film in the science-fiction fantasy is vaporizing records, but, familiar or not, “The Force Awakens” once again ground down high-water marks over the holidays, racking up US$153.5 million domestically.
The weekend’s other releases included the Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg comedy Daddy’s Home, which took $35m (£23.6m).
“Joy”, with Jennifer Lawrence, earned around $17.5 million and the re-imagining of “Point Break” a disappointment, only about 10 million in it’s first weekend. Released by Time Warner Inc.’sWarner Bros. but financed by Alcon Entertainment, the $105 million production opened to a weak $10.2 million.
“It was bigger than a movie”, said Dave Hollis, Disney’s distribution chief. In fact, its $544.6 million domestic haul means that it is already ahead of The Dark Knight’s $534 million.
