Recession? What Recession? Look What Steven Spielberg Just Did -- June 14, 2015

Stories I am eagerly waiting for on Monday:

• the fracklog: the number of wells waiting to be fracked in the Bakken; if it goes over 900 -- one word: wow;
• update on Greece, now that negotiators have had another weekend to think about it; and,
• whether Monday will be the day that the Supreme Court announces it's ObamaCare decision

I assume the Director's Cut will be released Monday. It's hard for me to believe the fracklog won't increase; it's impossible for me to track the number precisely but it sure seems like more wells are going to SI/NC status than are coming off the "producing wells now completed" list, but I could be wrong. I don't have anything to compare it to, but 900 wells waiting to be fracked seems outlandish.

By the way, when I get back to blogging, another thought on the Bakken -- relative to the Director's Cut with the April, 2015, data.

Tonight: it's all about LeBron. The series is tied (2 - 2) and it's now best of three games. Two of the three games, I believe, will not be in Cleveland.

This, by the way, is even cooler. It appears Tesla sent some engineers to replace a battery on Philae, the ESA comet lander. 

By the way, that ObamaTrade bill that no one has read? Hillary Clinton has "no comment" until the "deal is final" -- one way or the other. Showing her leadership, again.

From The Los Angeles Times: 'Jurassic World' makes movie history with $204.6 million, second-biggest U.S. opening ever.

Jurassic World," the reboot of the Steven Spielberg franchise about genetically engineered dinosaurs who wreak havoc on humans, stunned Hollywood and chomped its way into movie history, collecting an estimated $204.6 million domestically in its opening weekend.

The launch of the Universal film exceeded even the most optimistic projections in scoring the second-largest North American opening weekend ever and becoming only the second film to debut beyond the $200-million mark. 

"Marvel's The Avengers" in 2012 is the only film to perform better than "Jurassic World" with an opening of $207.4 million. The dinosaur epic blasted ahead of this year's "Avengers: Age of Ultron," which debuted at $191.3 million, according to Rentrak.

The worldwide appetite for "Jurassic World" was also massive, collecting $307.2 million in 66 territories, beating the previous record holder "Furious 7" with $250.4 million.

And finally for those following the Tim Mellon - Ric Gillespie "feud" over Amerlia Earhart, Fox has an update.
