Taking the top of the Box Office in its debut is Christopher Nolan‘s eagerly-awaited new Film DUNKIRK, earning $51 million from 3,720 theatres across North America for Warner Bros.  It gets a phenomenal 92% on the Tomatometer from Critics and an A- CinemaScore from Audiences. This lands ahead of 2014’s Interstellar which opened with $47.5 million in 3,561 theatres. Nolan has continued a legacy of domination with these Films, 2010’s Inception and The Dark Knight Trilogy.

Debuting in second with $29.2 million is Universal Pictures’ GIRLS TRIP, which gets both stellar reviews, coming in at 89% on the Tomatometer and a rare A+ CinemaScore also.  The Malcolm D. Lee Comedy plays in 2,195 theatres domestically.

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING is in third with $20 million for Sony Pictures in its third week out.

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES is in fourth with $18.5 million for 20th Century Fox in its second week out.

In fifth is VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS with $16.7 million from 3,533 theatres for STX Entertainment/eOne Films.  The Fantasy from visionary Luc Besson gets 55% on the Tomatometer and a B- CinemaScore.

Rounding-out the Top Ten is Toronto-made WISH UPON with $2.1 million in its second week out for Broad Green Pictures.

American Vice President Al Gore after serving his country from 1993 to 2001, has continued his prominence as an Author, a Speaker and an Environmentalist.  His 2006 Documentary An Inconvenient Truth went-on to Oscar glory and in many ways has been prophetic in warning us as citizens of the Earth about the imminent dangers of climate change.

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power picks-up where its predecessor left off, 11 years later. We witness great catastrophies from India to The Philippines all the way close to home in New York and Miami. Gore appeared at a Cineplex Premiere Event tonight at Scotiabank Theatre in Toronto, speaking at a Q&A with Jeff Skoll,  Canadian Founder and Chairman of Participant Media and Canada’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna.

Directed by Jon Shenk and Bonnie Cohen, the Film follows Gore and the resistance he faces in winning allies in the fight to turn the world onto renewable energy.  Several facts both alarming and discomforting are presented, but the number of arguments for Solar Energy are staggering. Did you know that every hour, enough Solar Energy is generated to power the world for a year? Few countries still have migrated over to renewable energy, although the list is growing every day.

While America faces much turmoil these next few months ahead,  Gore thanks Canada and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for being an ally in the fight against climate change even when President Donald Trump refuses to acknowledge the urgency of the matter.

Gore says, “Stand by us, we are going to get through this tough time. There will be better times ahead. This is temporary.”.
