Trespass Against Us centers on three generations of the Cutler family, a close-knit clan of nomads living an outlaw existence in their own anarchic corner of Britain’s most affluent countryside. Chad Cutler (Michael Fassbender) is the heir apparent to the family patriarch, his bullying father Colby (Brendan Gleeson), and has been groomed to spend his life hunting, stealing and tormenting local law enforcement. But with his own son Tyson (Georgie Smith) coming of age and his wife Kelly (Lyndsey Marshal) pushing him to stand up to Colby, Chad finds himself locked in a battle for the future of his young family.

SPLIT makes a big splash at the Box Office in its debut for Universal Pictures with a stellar $34.1 million from 3,038 theatres. Starring James McAvoy, the Thriller gets a 76% on the Tomatometer, while Audiences responded similarly with a B+ CinemaScore.

In second is xXx: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE, which many projected to take the top spot in its opening. Alas it earns $19 million from 3.561 theatres, earning a 42% on the Tomatometer from Critics and an A- CinemaScore from Audiences.

HIDDEN FIGURES still is going strong in third with $15 million for 20th Century Fox from 3,416 theatres. In total it has grossed $82 million over four weeks.

SING lands in fourth with $8.6 million for Universal Pictures, nearing the $250-million-mark in five weeks.

LA LA LAND places fifth with $8.3 million from 1,865 theatres, still riding a high from its Golden Globes glory. It has earned $90 million thus far over seven weeks, a majority in limited release.

PATRIOTS DAY is in eighth with $5.3 million for eOne Films/Lionsgate Films, tallying-in at $23 million over two weeks.

Rounding-out the Top Ten is THE BYE BYE MAN with $3.3 million from 2,220 theatres, nearing the $20-million-mark in its second week out for VVS Films/STX Entertainment.

Beijing-born and American-educated, LEAH DOU might be obscure to North America, but that is about to change. The Alternative-Pop Singer/Songwriter quickly is becoming a force to be reckoned with in Asia where she released her debut disc, Stone Café, last April. Dou, the 20-year-old daughter of Chinese rocker Dou Wei and visionary Singer/Songwriter/Actress Faye Wong, is currently touring in support of that English-language disc, fresh off a stint in the U.K. where she just had a supporting gig for Electronic outfit, Bastille.

The soft-spoken Artist possesses an understated elegance also in her music which translated well to an energetic rhythmic set at Adelaide Hall in Toronto tonight before a sold-out crowd of primarily Chinese fans who have admired her from afar on the internet. Highlighted by mesmerizing vocals reminiscent of both her mother (and a young Stevie Nicks), hypnotic harmonies and sensual grooves, the crowd was on its feet start to finish during the abbreviated performance. The concert originally was to be at Drake Hotel before overwhelming ticket demand led to an expansion of venue. Toronto is the second city of her tour, which saw her stop in New York last night at the Mercury Lounge.

Surprising fans in the audience tonight was Chinese R&B/Soul star Khalil Fong who just played Sony Centre for the Performing Arts last night!

See some Snaps from the show:

Although good on recording, the live renditions of her tracks show a more confident and self-assured Dou. Check out her track My Days below:

Pure honour meeting Singer/Songwriter #LeahDou, in Toronto tonight for a rare, super-intimate sold-out show at Adelaide Hall, hot off a supporting gig for #Bastille. Dou is touring in support of stellar debut disc, #StoneCafe. Love her understated sensibility. For those unfamiliar, she is the daughter of Chinese rocker Dou Wei and visionary and legendary Singer/Songwriter/Actress, #FayeWong.

Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya, Sicario) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams, Girls), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy (Catherine Keener, Captain Phillips) and Dean (Bradley Whitford, The Cabin in the Woods). At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.
