Never underestimate the power of word-of-mouth. A QUIET PLACE, directed by and starring John Krasinski (and also partner Emily Blunt!) quietly has been building buzz and raves were loud after its SXSW Premiere recently in Austin. It debuts atop the Box Office with a smashing $50 million for Paramount Pictures from 3,508 theatres. It gets a 97% on the Tomatometer and a B+ CinemaScore.

In second is last week’s champ READY PLAYER ONE with $24 million from 4,234 theatres, a total $94 million over two weeks for Warner Bros.

Third is new entrant BLOCKERS with $20 million from 3,379 theatres for Universal Pictures. The Comedy was made for $19 million and gets 83% on the Tomatometer and a B CinemaScore for first-time Feature Director Kay Cannon.

BLACK PANTHER is far from done, in fourth this weekend with $8.2 million in its eighth week out for Marvel/Disney. It has made $665 million to-date in North America.

Tyler Perry’s ACRIMONY debuts in fifth with $7.3 million from 2,006 theates for Lionsgate Films/eOne Films. The Director’s highest opening still goes to 2009’s Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail with $41 million.

CHAPPAQUIDDICK debuts in seventh with $5.7 million from 1,560 theatres for Entertainment Studios/D Films. The TIFF ’17 selection starring Jason Clarke gets an impressive 79% on the Tomatometer and a B CinemaScore.

THE MIRACLE SEASON rounds-out the Top Ten in its opening with $3.8 million from 1,707 theatres for LD Entertainment/Elevation Pictures. It gets 36% on the Tomatometer and an A CinemaScore from Audiences.

Gorgeous women looking empowered. Drake‘s new Video for NICE FOR WHAT, the Track sampling Lauyrn Hill‘s Ex-Factor, features a star-studded Cast of familiar faces. Tiffany Haddish, Tracee Ellis Ross, Emma Roberts, Issa Rae, Bria Vinaite, Zoe Saldana, Olivia Wilde, Letitia Wright and several more appear in the Clip, reminiscent of George Michael‘s Freedom! 90.

With over 3,000 stores around the world, Jollibee is a major success story for Philippines. The multi-national Fast Food Chain known best for its fried chicken (Chicken Joy) and signature sweet Spaghetti, among several other items, has come to be adored around the world.

Jollibee launched its first-ever Toronto location Sunday, April 1, 2018 with little notice and what resulted was thousands of ardent fans queuing over night for a chance to be the first to re-live that nostalgia – a taste of home. It is reported that the approximate wait time to get into the establishment was seven hours! This is no April Fool’s joke!

While admittedly the menu doesn’t offer anything remarkable or innovative, Jollibee takes American favourites and gives them a distinct Asian spin. Fans of the Brand have connected deeply with it and what it lacks in refined sophistication, it more than makes up for in giving the Filipino community a warm sense of nostalgia and belonging.  We pride Toronto as being an inclusive and diverse place and there always is room for more flavours in our remarkable City!

Fortunately, our wait was only 90 minutes even though we anticipated it being much longer.

Watch our Story:

Jollibee Toronto is located at 15 William Kitchen Road in Scarborough, Ontario and they are open 7 AM to midnight. Hours are subject to change.
