1) X-Men: Days of Future Past looked on pace of breaking $100 million domestically this weekend (which has yet to be done in 2014) but fell short bringing in $91.4 million, although it did hit $111 million including Monday. This was the fifth-largest opening ever on Memorial Day weekend behind Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Indiana Jones 4, X-Men: The Last Stand, and Fast & Furious 6. Meanwhile, Blended flustered a bit this weekend bringing in only a little over $14 million. Here are the official 4-day Memorial Day Weekend Box Office numbers courtesy of BoxOfficeMojo.com.

3) The new game for PS3, PS4, X-Box 360, and X-Box One Watch Dogs hit store shelves at midnight tonight and looks pretty awesome. If I wasn't blowing my video game budget on Mario Kart 8 this week, I would definitely consider picking this up. Recently, Conan featured this game on his Clueless Gamer segment on his show and it was hilarious per usual. Check it out below.
4) Nia Vardalos is looking to spray a little Windex on her career as she has written a sequel to her 2002 independent smash-hit My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The sequel will be based on her experiences with motherhood and John Corbett will be coming back as her husband. I hope this can recreate the magic the first movie possessed.
5) In addition to the news that season 2 of True Detective will take place in California and feature 3 lead characters, there was a trailer sent to our attention by listener Erica for Nicolas Sparks' Lifetime Backdoor Pilot, Deliverance Creek. The two-hour movie, that could lead to a series, is Nicholas Sparks' first foray into television stars Lauren Ambrose as a Civil War era widow who has to protect her children at any cost.
