Box Office: 'Equalizer 2' Narrowly Edges Past 'Mamma Mia! Here We 7/23/2018 Box Office: ‘Equalizer 2’ Beats ‘Mamma Mia!’ Sequel in Surprise Twist – Variety JULY 22, 2018 7:46AM PT HOME > FILM > BOX OFFICE Box Office: ‘Equalizer 2’ Narrowly Edges Past ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’ to Land at No. 1 By REBECCA RUBIN CREDIT: GLEN WILSON COLUMBIA/SONY/KOBAL/SHUTTERSTOCK In a twist straight out of a movie, “The Equalizer 2” shot past “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” to steal the box oice crown. Going into the weekend, it looked like “Mamma Mia! 2” would easily debut at No. 1. Final numbers won’t come in until Monday, but weekend estimates show Sony’s “The Equalizer” sequel opened above estimates with $35.8 million when it launched in 3,388 locations, while Universal’s highly anticipated follow-up to “Mamma Mia!” debuted with $34.4 million from 3,317 screens. “Equalizer 2,” the irst sequel of Denzel Washington’s nearly four-decade long career, debuted overseas with $3.3 million in 11 international territories. In North America, “Equalizer 2” premiered ahead of its predecessor. 2014’s “The Equalizer” opened with $35 million and went on to generate $192 million worldwide, including $101 million domestically. https://variety.com/2018/film/box-office/box-office-equalizer-beats-mamma-mia-here-we-go-again-1202880521/ 1/4 7/23/2018“It was a surprise to come in at No 1. inBox an Office: extremely ‘Equalizer competitive2’ Beats ‘Mamma marketplace,”Mia!’ Sequel in Surprise Adrian Twist –Smith, Variety Sony’s head of domestic distribution, said. “It really speaks to the power of Denzel, without a doubt. We expect it to play to a great multiple.” Antoine Fuqua returned to direct “The Equalizer 2,” which also stars Pedro Pascal, Ashton Sanders, Melissa Leo, and Bill Pullman. Though it got a head start on the original ilm at the box oice, reception has been less enthusiastic for the sequel, which currently holds a tepid 50% average on Rotten Tomatoes. Its CinemaScore, however, sits at an A. “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” couldn’t dance its way to the top of the domestic box oice, but its $34 million opening is still a win. The original “Mamma Mia!” hit theaters a decade ago with $27 million. It became a box oice hit, amassing $615 million worldwide on a $52 million budget. Much like the irst ilm, the sequel will likely be a smash overseas, where Swedish pop group ABBA has a huge following. This weekend, it launched internationally with $42.4 million when it opened in 42 markets. “The results from audiences has really been electric,” Jim Orr, Universal’s president of domestic distribution said. “There was a pent-up wait to see this after the irst ilm generated such goodwill.” Aside from “Ocean’s 8” and “Book Club,” few offerings this summer have targeted female audiences. Orr said that, along with overseas appeal, should give the jukebox musical long legs at the box oice. Much of the star-studded cast — including Amanda Seyfried, Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard, Colin Firth, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, and Dominic Cooper — returned for the second ilm. Lily James made her debut as the younger version of Meryl Streep’s charming and carefree Donna, while living legend Cher also joined the cast. Ol Parker, the screenwriter behind “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,” took over directing duties and penned the script. The inal wide release of the weekend, BH Tilt’s “Unfriended: Dark Web,” got off to a scary start. The low-budget horror ilm debuted way below projections with $3.5 million from 1,546 locations. That might not matter, considering the Blumhouse title carries a $1 million price tag. “Dark Web” is a standalone sequel to 2015’s “Unfriended.” That ilm became a cash cow, opening with $15 million and going on to earn $64 million from a $1 million budget. “The Grudge” and “Texas Chainsaw 3D” writer Stephen Susco made his directorial debut with “Dark Web,” which features Colin Woodell, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Betty Gabriel, and Andrew Lees. Among holdovers, “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation” nabbed third place during its second outing. Sony’s animated sequel picked up another $23 million from 4,267 locations, bringing its domestic tally to $91 million. It has made $115 million internationally, including $37.7 million this weekend. In fourth, Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp” pocketed $16 million from 3,778 screens in its third frame. In total, the Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lily-led superhero blockbuster has made $165 million in North America. Globally, the Marvel title has crossed $353.5 million. Disney-Pixar’s “Incredibles 2” rounded out the top ive with $11.5 million. In six weeks, the animated sequel has earned a massive $557 million in North America and $940 million worldwide. Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson’s “Skyscraper” continues to struggle in North America. Universal’s action adventure dropped 56% in its sophomore weekend, collecting $11 million in 3,822 locations. The studio is hoping for massive returns internationally given the ilm’s estimated $125 million budget. It bowed in China with $45 million, taking its weekend total to $86 million. So far, “Skyscraper” has made $176.8 million globally. At the specialty box oice, Lionsgate’s “Blindspotting” bowed with $332,500 when it opened in 14 theaters. That’s a solid per-screen-average of $23,750. Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal co-wrote and star in “Blindspotting, which debuted to raves at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Bleecker Street’s “McQueen,” a documentary chronicling the life of iconic fashion designer Alexander McQueen, landed the top theater average of the weekend with $24,232. It scored $96,928 when it opened in four theaters. https://variety.com/2018/film/box-office/box-office-equalizer-beats-mamma-mia-here-we-go-again-1202880521/ 2/4 7/23/2018Another new offering, Amazon Studios’Box “Generation Office: ‘Equalizer Wealth,”2’ Beats ‘Mamma bowed Mia!’ on Sequel four in Surprisescreens Twist with – Variety $33,602 for a per-theater- average of $8,401. A24’s “Eighth Grade” continued to receive high marks in its second frame. Bo Burnham’s directorial debut continued its rollout to 32 locations, where it earned $794,000 — averaging $24,072 per screen. Elsewhere, documentaries have continued their hot streak. Neon’s “Three Identical Strangers” brought in another $1.4 million. In four weeks, the acclaimed doc has earned $4.3 million. Focus Features’ “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” has now surpassed $18.4 million, including $1.3 million this weekend. Magnolia and Participant’s “RBG” has crossed $13 million, picking up $168,000 in its 12th frame, while Roadside Attraction’s “Whitney” made $118,470, taking its total to $2.8 million. Annapurna’s “Sorry to Bother You” cracked the top 10 domestically with $2.8 million when it expanded to 1,050 locations. In total, Boots Riley’s dark comedy has collected $10.3 million. Other holdovers include Amazon Studios’ “Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot” ($265,360 from 62 screens) and Bleecker Street’s “Leave No Trace” ($891,545 from 361 locations). The summer box oice is up a healthy 10.5% compared to 2017, according to comScore. The year-to-date total is also at an uptick, crossing $7 billion half way through 2018.

Smith Chairman, Department Committee on Graduate Students Design of A Power-Scalable Digital Least-Means-Square Adaptive Filter by Chee We Ng Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on December, 2000, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Engineering in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Abstract This thesis describes the design of power-scalable digital adaptive equalizer for pulse or quadrature amplitude modulation communication systems, using synthesis and place-and-route tools. DSP based modem applications such as gigabit Ethernet transceivers require channel equalization. Because of the high rate and computation complexity involved, adaptive equalization filters consume a lot of power. Currently, equalization is typically hardwired instead of using a digital signal processor. Yet, there is a need for the equalization filters to be scalable to different channel and bit rate requirements. Synthesis and place-and-route tools enables the designer to focus on higher-level aspects of the design instead of at the transistor level.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. i Should I Tell on my Peers? Student Experiences and Perceptions of Cyberbullying A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Educational Psychology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Gillian M. Harrison 2013 ii Abstract Over the last decade, researchers have found that some adolescents are being bullied not only by traditional methods but also via electronic communication devices. This study provides an overview of student responses to a survey regarding cyberbullying, and explores the reasons students are often reluctant to report victimisation to adults. It includes both quantitative and qualitative data obtained from self-report surveys developed to measure the prevalence of cyberbullying, the media most frequently used for cyberbullying, the nature and content of offensive communications, the extent of reporting victimisation, and student views on preventing and reducing cyberbullying. A total of 154 students aged 13 to 18 years old from three schools in the Bay of Plenty participated in the study. The results provide some insights into the reasons that adolescents often do not tell an adult about being cyberbullied. The main reasons for not telling appear to be beliefs that peers can help more than an adult as well as a culture in which telling an adult may be considered "ratting". Student views on how schools can best deal with cyberbullying involved issues of confidentiality and safety, appropriate discipline, and ensuring school-wide awareness of anti- bullying procedures.

  • Rosewarne, Lauren (2017) “'Nothing Crueler Than High School Students
    International Journal of Technoethics Volume 8 • Issue 1 • January-June 2017 “Nothing Crueler than High School Students”: The Cyberbully in Film and Television Lauren Rosewarne, School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia ABSTRACT The Internet as a fearful place is a theme apparent in numerous film and television presentations whereby fears and anxieties about new technology are exploited and new ethical challenges are mounted. The idea that the Internet can make a person, particularly a young person, vulnerable has much traction on screen: in the context of bullying, narratives frequently demonstrate that while it was once restricted to the parameters of school—the school grounds and the school day—the Internet enables such behavior to happen at any time and for it to occur repeatedly with an infinite audience. Anybody with Internet access—be it via their laptop or smartphone—can be bullied; equally, anyone with access to such technology can become the bully. Revictimization is the starting point for this discussion and a key factor in distinguishing cyberbullying from the schoolyard terror of the pre–Web era. The public nature of many online attacks means that victims experience abuse in an ongoing fashion in turn, exacerbating and prolonging the trauma. Other themes explored include the flexibility of roles: whereas in schoolyard bullying the victim is frequently the weaker kid preyed upon by someone older and stronger; online the weaker kid can effortlessly become the bully themselves in a world where physical brawn is less important than computer prowess. Age and gender are also examined, along with emerging social concerns such as slut-shaming and revenge porn.

  • The Shifting of Chow Yun-Fat's Star Image Since 1997
    7 Translocal Imagination of Hong Kong Connections: The Shifting of Chow Yun-fat’s Star Image Since 1997 Lin Feng Anyone who is interested in Hong Kong cinema must be familiar with one name: Chow Yun-fat (b. 1955). He rose to film stardom in the 1980s when Hong Kong cinema started to attract global attention beyond East Asia. During his early screen career, Chow established a star image as an urban citizen of modern Hong Kong through films such as A Better Tomorrow/Yingxiong bense (John Woo, 1986), City on Fire/Longhu fengyun (Ringo Lam, 1987), All About Ah-Long/A Lang de gushi (Johnnie To, 1989), God of Gamblers/Du shen (Wong Jing, 1989), and Hard Boiled/Lashou shentan (John Woo, 1992). Many Hong Kong film critics claim that Chow’s popularity among local audiences is deeply tied to the rising awareness of Hong Kong’s local identity under the context that the city was undergoing transition from being a British colonial city to becoming the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) in 1997 (Sek Kei et al. 2000). However, after over a decade of prosperity in the 1980s and early 1990s, Hong Kong cinema has been in a long period of recession. Mo Jianwei (2008) notes that the local film industry’s annual production dropped by nearly 40 per cent, from 242 films in 1993 to 150 in 2000. The decline of Hong Kong cinema saw a number of local stars and film-makers migrating overseas. Following his friends and long-time collaborators John Woo, Ringo Lam and Terence Cheung, who moved to America in the early 1990s, Chow also announced his decision to continue his career in Hollywood in 1995.

The polarization in voters has been attributed in part to the Internet’s perpetuation of “echo chambers” and “filter bubbles” that allow people of similar political views to validate and reinforce each other’s ideologies, leading to stronger and more extreme political views (Sunstein 2009; Flaxman, Goel, & Rao 2016). It was also evident that social media engagement in relation to politics had increased since the 2012 election (Pew Report 2018).
