for me it is almost just 4k. There is the occasional 3D (let's face it there are not that many that come out) and HD is just for TV (many are not filmed and processed in 4k so I am assuming HD is as good as they will get.)

Really excited for the PQ on The Shallows. Watched San Andreas and Rampage this past week. Loved San Andreas. Rampage not so much. Looking forward to getting Jungle Cruise on UHD.
I hated San Andreas and I saw that in theaters, but loved The Shallows, Rampage, and Kong Island. Did not care for Godzilla, but Venom is fun.
'Free Guy' retained its No. 2 spot, with $5.2 million in North America, while 'Cry Macho' earned a lackluster $4.5 million.

For a third weekend in the row, Shang-Chi has battled its way to the top of the box office.
The superhero standalone earned a $21.7 million at the domestic box office from 4,070 theaters, dropping 37 percent, bringing its total North American ticket sales to a massive $176.9 million. The PG-13 movie, which boasts an A CinemaScore, stars Simu Liu as Marvel’s newest hero and is the studio’s first to center on an Asian lead.
In its opening weekend, the Marvel feature grossed a massive $90 million and had the second-biggest three-day debut of the pandemic year so far, coming in behind fellow Marvel Studios pic Black Widow and above Universal’s F9. The movie has continued to break pandemic records and is now the second highest grossing domestic release of the year behind Black Widow. Unlike Black Widow, which premiered day-and-date in theaters and on Disney+ Premier Access, Shang-Chi is exclusively in theaters and is looking to soon overtake the Scarlett Johansson-starrer’s $183 million domestic box office.
With an estimated $320.6 million worldwide gross to date (the movie earned $20.3 million overseas this weekend), Shang-Chi is the fourth highest MPA global movie of 2021.
Coming in second is 20th Century/ Disney’s Free Guy, now in its sixth weekend at the multiplex. The Ryan Reynolds-led action-comedy fell only 7 percent, for a weekend gross of $5.2 million, and a cume-to-date of $108.5 million.
The weekend’s biggest new release, Clint Eastwood’s Cry Macho, came in third with three-day earnings of $4.5 million at 3,967 theaters. The PG-13 neo-western from the 91-year-old, which has a B CinemaScore and a budget of $33 million, follows a one-time rodeo star and horse breeder (Eastwood) who takes a job to bring a man’s young son home.
Like all the 2022 Warner Bros titles, Cry Macho debuted day-and-date on HBO Max and in theaters. It is the latest in a string of titles, including Malignant and Hugh Jackman’s Reminiscence, that have fallen flat at the box office. The studio, with Legendary, is gearing up for the Oct. 22 domestic release of Dune, which premiered this weekend in some international territories with an impressive $36.8 million.
Coming in fourth and fifth are Universal’s Candyman and New Line/ Warner Bros.’ Malignant. The Nia DaCosta-directed R-rated horror is in its fourth weekend dropped only 26 percent, screening at 2,820 locations, earning $3.5 million for a total domestic haul of $53.1 million. The R-rated horror from James Wan pulled in $2.6 million in its second weekend in release across 2,500 locations for a total of $9.8 million.
Opening in its first weekend at the specialty box office is the Searchlight title The Eyes of Tammy Faye, earning $675,000 from 450 for a per-screen average of $1500. The movie from Freckle Films and Madison Wells, which has a B+ on Cinemascore, stars Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield as the infamous televangelists Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker. It will be expanding to 1000 locations next weekend.
IMAX ticket sales made up 10 percent of the movie's total international take.

Dune has launched at the international box office.
The highly anticipated Legendary/Warner Bros. movie opened overseas to $36.8 million across 24 markets and 7,819 screens. Russia led international tickets sales with $7.6 million, followed by France ($7.5 million), Germany ($4.9 million), and Italy ($2.6 million).
Dune‘s large-format ticket sales were a particular stand-out, with the movie earning $3.6 million in IMAX ticket sales from 142 screens, making its per-screen IMAX average an astounding $25,000. The IMAX ticket sales made up 10 percent of the movie’s total international take. The movie was shot for large format viewing, with the IMAX version featuring an exclusive expanded aspect ratio.
Next weekend, Dune will continue its international expansion, opening into the Middle East, before expanding into smaller markets in mid-October and then debuting worldwide on Oct. 22. It should be noted that surges of COVID-19 cases continue to impact international markets like Australia, Japan, and Korea.
The movie is set to debut in the U.S. on Oct. 22. Like all 2022 Warner Bros titles, Dune will premiere day-and-date on HBO Max and in theaters. The streaming service is not available internationally, meaning the sci-fi epic is available only in theaters overseas. Dune will debut in China via Legendary on the recently revealed date of Oct. 22.
Timothée Chalamet leads Denis Villeneuve’s take on Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi classic. Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, and Javier Bardem round out the A-list ensemble.Next weekend, Dune will continue its international expansion, opening into the Middle East, before expanding into smaller markets in mid-October and then debuting worldwide on Oct. 22.

Thank you; it has been a roller coaster ride for me this summer...and at times I just wanted to get off.
I can relate, severe and prolonged pain can do a number on ones mental state. We still have many things we want to see and experience so we “endeavor to persevere.” Hope to see you here for many years to come!!!
Would it be possible for your sister to keep us informed of your health status if you should not be able to post for a period of time?
When you feel up for it I can re-post or link to my thoughts on the Apple TV 4K.
